2015 to 2021 were some difficult years to write. I moved from Jakarta to DC and after a few more years to upstate New York. 2020 brought CoVid-19 which moved in with us.

In that time I finalized and published a novel (historical fiction). The book is on Amazon and is called “Trying Liberty”  under my full name A Charity Higgins Johnson. While the research was enjoyable, the writing of it was killer. I’ll return to poetry in 2025. Hoping you will still read this now and  then. If it’s your first time reading, welcome!.   

As ever, I sincerely hope you find something to enjoy on this blog, something to consider, something that will make a difference in your day, your year, your life.

“Poets have often communicated in their own mode of expression, truths identical with the theologians’; but… because of the difference in the modes of expression, we often fail to see the identity of the statements.”  Dorothy Sayers, The Mind of the Maker
