She knows the risk of being alive and alert, and makes every encounter a perilous discovery. For Johnson a horseback ride is an interior journey illuminated by the stunning accuracy of her vision.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—Benjamin Saltman\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eFeeding the Animals\u003c\/i\u003e is a first book of poems filled with surprising graceful turns. The landscape of the poems teem with animals-birds horses-real creatures who are also figures in a personal mythology emboldened by the author’s passion, recorded with a keen observer’s eye. This felicitous combination of passion and accuracy yields, in poem after poem, an arresting new voice.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—Carol Muske\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"I love the thing-richness of these poems: a chalk horse’s white spine, a red beet-stem, a mattress cover swimming with mermaids.
