More than 20 years since its first publication in 2003, Necessary Journey has been lovingly revised to re-enter the poetic world while remaining true to the era of her time.

The first volume of poetry to be released by Poet Author Journey Johnson, Necessary Journey, takes us through the pleasure, pain, and passion of being alive. It is a journey as seductive as sin and as promising as redemption.

With an unblinking eye, it offers a raw and sometimes devastating look at self and society. Come and explore a series of destinations faced and examined in this riveting, emotional, and spiritual sojourn.

Experience the doubts, angst, and ecstasy of searching for and knowing love; the struggle to keep and the anguish of having to let it go. Embrace this glimpse inside a soul that lashes out at social injustices and mourns what is fast becoming our lost generation.

Necessary Journey is a middle passage of mind, body, and spirit in pursuit of the freedom of self-possession. At once demanding and pleading, sinful and righteous, this is poetry with a pulse.
