Darwin's Book of Saints

“There’s more territory out there, don’t you know? / You, person who might have been you.” Alexander Johns’ poems generously share his unique gift of insight of his environment and experiences, especially of the things that hum, sing, and roar around him. His poems are sensitive acknowledgements of everyday beauty as if, like us, he is pursuing the difficult task of just being. When you read Johns’ poetry he points out intricacies you may not have noticed before that act as a reminder that mindfulness is how we endure. “DARWIN’S BOOK OF SAINTS is funny and fun, but mostly it’s insightful, readable, and generous. If you think you don’t like poetry, I bet you’ll like this poetry. If you do like poetry, you’ll need this book to carry on.” (Matt Hart, Radiant Action, Radiant Companion, Forklift, Ohio) “This book could be a new devotional for all who know in their parasite-ridden guts that we are all kindred.” (Michelle Castleberry, Dissecting the Angel) “The intersection of insects, nature, and humankind’s frailties in Alexander Johns’ DARWIN’S BOOK OF SAINTS makes for a humorous and contemplative collection of poetry.” (Collin Kelly, Render, Leaving Paris, Midnight in a Perfect World
