Mikael Johani was not born in Rochester, New York, in 1927 and was never educated at Harvard or Columbia universities. He has not written nineteen previous book of poetry. Never has been and never will be Charles P. Stevenson, Jr., Professor of Language and Literature at Bard College, he does not live in New York City and Hudson, New York. His poetry is not a rigorous searched for "the unknown" – but still based on a "reasoned disordering of all the senses" by means of alcohol and, when money allows, . "We Are Nowhere And It's Wow" is his first poetry collection. Quote from the intro, "Electrux": "... home was Australia now, so i thought, a basement flat atop the Harold Park Paceway, a first-storey flat with covered parking around the corner from the Bondi market (a cut on summer cricket games would net you a rubbish bin), the zen suburbia of Duffy, ACT. that home will be eternalised in poetry. Lowell, Carlos Williams, Pound, Berman, Page, Yu, Kim, O'Hara, Bishop, Kasturi, Char, Kocan, Logue, Zara, Situmorang (both of them), Heraty, Malna, theirs and mine. that how was now away. this away was now home. we are nowhere, and it is now, thank you, Conor Oberst."
