"Johnson is crowd-pleaser, a hole-card-reader, a social critic, and consummate chronicler of the Rap Age."

Imperial Liquor is a chronicle of melancholy, a reaction to the monotony of racism. These poems concern loneliness, fear, fatigue, rage, and love; they hold fatherhood held against the vulnerability of the black male body, aging, and urban decay.

Slow Jams, red-lit rooms, cheap liquor, like seduction and betrayal—what’s more American?
