Summary

A beautifully written and poignantly wrought collection of poems that examines the little things in life that are often overlooked, Of Dreams and Realities by Frank Louis Johnson celebrates life's acts of diligence and necessity. His poems are fearless and sincere in equal measure and prove that dreaming is not a matter of having a goal, but at its crux is indistinguishable from living life. In his poems, the distinction from one to the other is often inconsequential and merely a formality to feeling, emoting, speaking one's mind, and completing a task. His poetic voice shares the perspective that savors twilight and the industrious acts of a flower's pollen. The poet's tradition of looking at the power of a shadow and the hope of small things resonates the splendor of subtlety. The fact is that all that does not seem to matter, really truly does. To dream is to live, to aspire is to believe, and to act is to authenticate.
