Shadows, Mirrors, Pearls

Leslie Johnson traveled far away from her urban roots for more than twenty years and this period is re-visited in this collection derived from her day-dreams and aspirations that never surrendered to the distractions imposed by the stresses and imperfections of a hurried existence. These highly personal and secret realms reveal sensitivity, spirituality and personal triumph often undocumented during an unpredictable and sometimes perilous journey spanning two decades. Her writing is a self-conscious and imaginative response to changing landscapes that are often powerful and impossible.
