    Author Fenton Johnson
    “Book Descriptions: Fenton Johnson’s lyrical prose and searching sensibility encourage readers to discover purpose and fulfillment in time spent alone. He delves into the lives and works of iconic solitaries from Henry David Thoreau at Walden Pond and Emily Dickinson in Amherst to the fiercely self-protective Zora Neale Hurston. Each portrait illuminates the bright wakes these solitaries have left and Johnson’s own journey from his childhood in rural Kentucky to his travels throughout the world in a celebration of solitude.”
