Dancing the Haw

Dancing The Haw features fifty new poems from poet and author Tyler Johnson. This collection navigates a river of music and dance that changes, heals, and binds us together. But the book takes many side trips along the way, including conversations with chickens, reflections on zombies, and a garden fatwa. It explores relationships emerging and those fading away. Through it all runs the Haw River in North Carolina.

from the author:

“These poems grew out of my experiences along the Haw River near Chicken Bridge. But as rivers will, this one stretched me back in time to other rivers of my youth. Rivers are deep and dangerous things, but people are saved in them. This one saved me.”
