the last time\n\nwe wene Chularuenpenny j.johnson  \n\"The binding topic of these varied poems is relation-ships:child to world;adolescent to friends;youngwoman to God,husband,children,and the past.Eachpoem explores these relationships with wit,a kind ofmelancholy gladness,and,finally,wisdom.You willfind yourselfin them and,yet,more than yourself.Theyare a pleasure—to the ear and to the soul.”  \n-Daniel TaylorSpeaker and author of Tell Me a Story andIn Search of Sacred Places  \n“These poems provide eloquent testimony to the searchfor connections in life-connections that bind our per-sonal identity to parents,grandparents,and children,and connections between faith and the suffering ofloved ones.Penny Johnson explores the language offaith to discover connections that will surprise,console,and challenge you.”  \n~Daniel E.Ritchie  \nProfessor of English,Bethel University  \n\"I suppose there are as many reasons to turn to poetryas there are readers of poetry,but surely most of ushope for a mix of seriousness and humor,intensity andgroundedness that we can take with us back into ourlives once we have finished the poem.Penny Johnson’spoems offer just this kind of mix.Hers is a voice,itis easy to trust,and the poems themselves both chal-lenge and inspire the reader.There are many poems Icould point to that embody the qualities I’m describinghere.One of my favorites is 'Jenny,'a poem that playswith our sense of identities and challenges us to seehow permeable the boundary is between ourselves andthe people around us we so often think of as strangers.From the first poem to the last,Penny Johnson treatsher readers as friends rather than strangers:What a giftthese poems are!\"  \n-Jim MooreAuthor of Lightning at Dinner  \nthe last time
