Our goal here is first to make Linnea’s previously unpublished poetry available in collections that reflect, as much as possible, her own plans for them. We will add links to these collections as they are ready. The first will be Swedish Christmas, which includes both unpublished work and some of the poems on the Swedish Christmas CD, mostly in greatly revised form. Some copies of the CD are still available; contact us at linneajohnsonauthor@gmail.com if you would like to order a CD. The second collection will be The Chicago Poems.
