Synopsis

In a genre that is never in the limelight, Peter Johnson uses a variety of interesting symbols, characters, and situations to bring prose poetry to its highest level. Instilled with subtle pain and humour, Pretty Happy is filled with poems that will take you into the lives of characters you know on paper for only a few sentences, but that stay in your head for days.
