TURNIPS IN SOUTHERN TENNESSEE STILL
In Turnips in Southern Tennessee Still, poet Michael Lee Johnson weaves imagery of moonshine, memory, and spiritual doubt into a haunting meditation on the Southern landscape. With echoes of violence, history, and surreal reflection, this poem explores the blurry lines between faith, myth, and rural truth.
THE MURDERER’S FATE
As twilight settles over a forest gallows, the hanged body of a murderer becomes both spectacle and symbol. The Murderer’s Fate is a haunting, lyrical meditation on justice, consequence, and the eerie calm after violence.
