Publisher's Synopsis
No Unpaid Passengers is an exploration of what it means to truly live the decision to "choose yourself." Told through a collection of poems, Johnson Davis examines themes such as childhood trauma, divorce, Blackness, church politics, and more in these heartfelt pieces. This body of work imagines the first three decades of the author's life as a long train ride where she takes readers on a journey from thought to thought and memory to memory while letting the people, places, and things that have been extra baggage off at various stops along the way.
This book is "PG-13" and contains some adult language. Some of the aforementioned themes may be sensitive for certain audiences. There are also themes of joy, friendship, love, home, flowers, and butterflies. Enjoy the ride!
