More Fireflies

My Mum always told me to make friends with the folks in my lifeboat. I shall always wish Kendall Johnson were among them! With his initial Fireflies Against Darkness, he reminded us in his beautiful, poetic way that hope may not conquer all, but it is the most powerful armor we have against adversity. In this equally affecting sequel, he shows us the power, unwitting-perhaps unwilling-and everyday heroes possess in very small boats with hope at the helm.

I was so heartened by reading More Fireflies, a continuation of the first collection. We really do need more of these uplifting stories and poem snippets to help counteract the tough news we've been hearing eve-ryday.

-Louella Lester, author of Glass Bricks

What a joy to read More Fireflies, Kendall Johnson's sequel to his remarkable chapbook Fireflies Against Darkness. As someone who savored the first offering, I eagerly read this new volume. I was not disappointed.
