This collection, published roughly in the middle of Johnson’s career, consists of two main types of poems. The first are fairly traditional poems on a variety of topics. These are written largely in the European tradition, using forms such as ballad stanza and the sonnet form to express Johnson’s ideas on a variety of subjects. The second is a series of poems in dialect. These are still traditional in format, but have a distinct regional flavor and subject matter.
