Publisher's Synopsis

  • Writer to watch: While In Full Velvet is Johnson's debut collection, she's already highly decorated as the recipient of major awards and fellowships including the 2015 Whiting Award and the 2016-2017 Hodder Fellowship at Princeton. Her work has been anthologized in Best American Poetry 2012, Troubling the Line: Trans & Genderqueer Poetry & Poetics, and elsewhere.
  • Special Interest: LGBTQ and feminist audiences : The poems grapple with desire, love, seeing, gender, difference, ecology, queerness in the "natural" world, loss, feminism, and LGBTQ lineage and community.
  • Whiting Foundation: The Whiting Foundation has considerable resources and is eager to promote its awardees, both financially and through its own impressive publicity team.
  • Well-connected author: As an instructor at the University of Pittsburgh, an upcoming Hodder Fellow at Princeton, and a darling of the young national poetry community, Johnson has numerous personal and professional connections within academia, the literary media, and LGBTQ communities.
