Miracles & Mortifications by Peter Johnson

Miracles & Mortifications by Peter Johnson

Long neglected or scoffed at by poetry purists, the prose poem is now taking its rightful place as a distinct and accepted genre in American letters. Johnson's work as editor of 'The Prose Poem: An International Journal', did much to legitimatise this genre. This book, his second collection of prose poetry, is filled with the mystery, humour, and pathos that make this form so appealing and so accessible.

Peter Johnson has taught history, English, and creative writing in high schools and colleges in Canada for over thirty-five years. He has written several books on BC maritime history, including Glyphs and Gallows: The Rock Art of Clo-oose and the Wreck of the John Bright; Voyages of Hope: The Saga of the Bride-Ships; Quarantined: Life and Death at William Head Station, 1872-1959; and, with John Walls, To the Lighthouse: An Explorer's Guide to the Island Lighthouses of Southwestern BC. He has also written and directed a documentary film on Lake Winnipeg, which was shown on CBC television, and published interpretive articles on Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov and George Orwell's 1984. He lives in Vancouver, British Columbia.
