In this collection of 54 poems, Johns grapples with the nostalgia of love, relationships, and uncertainties. His poems mine the past to reveal lost love, beauty, and pain through words. In Johns’ poems nostalgia is more than just memories, it is a sentimentality triggered by the past about connections to people, places and time. Nostalgia sometimes comes to us asking whether we want or need to go back in time to cherish moments painful or the sublime. Nostalgia connects us to people we have loved or lost and our minds can reconnect us to a person or time that we want to revisit.
