Johnson’s illustrated a beautiful lyrical, single-page take on a poem by A.E. Stallings called “Recitative” that I thought you all might enjoy reading.   He tries some very playful and effective tricks integrating the text of the poem into the scene of each panel.  200808121713

    In his photo, he does look remarkably like Loren.
