Because of Poetry I Have a Really Big House

More about the book

Kent Johnson's role in American poetry is marked by his dual identity as a provocative critic and an anti-institutional voice. Renowned for his diverse body of work, which includes over thirty titles across various genres, this collection serves as a sequel to his acclaimed 2008 work. Recently retired from teaching English and Spanish, Johnson's influence extends beyond poetry, highlighted by his recognition as State Teacher of the Year in 2004 and his involvement in the contentious Dispatches from the Poetry Wars from 2016 to 2020.
