Publisher Description

Raymond Carver said of The Incognito Lounge, Denis Johnson's third and most widely acclaimed book of verse: The subject matter is harrowingly convincing, is nothing less than a close examination of the darker side of human conduct.

Why do we act this way? Johnson asks. How should we act?

His best poems are examples of what the finest poetry can do: bring us closer to ourselves and at the same time put us in touch with something larger.
