TH Johnson RETURNS !!! More OJ simpsonDec 12, 2020T.H. Johnson was born in Crockett, TX in 1949 and raised in Minneapolis, MN. He became one of the founders of the Ocean Medical Investigative Group in 1996 with his brother, the Chairman, Dr. Henry s. Johnson, of Los Angeles, CA. He produced a compelling documentary in 2004 that screened in several national and international film festivals entitled "Serpents Rising" which chronicled the due diligence of the investigative team examining irregularities associated with the OJ Simpson case. The investigators found evidence of virulent fraud in the OJ Simpson murder trial and the subsequent civil trial based on concealed evidence intentionally hidden from both juries. He came back in 2011 to author an analysis of the case from his personal investigative files in his book "PURSUIT OF EXHIBIT 35 in the OJ Simpson Murder Trial". T.H. is also the author of an autobiographical account of L. Hortense Long entitled "Lilac Journey: Biography of a Gangster Girl". Johnson attributes any ability he may have as a thorough investigator to his father, Dr. Thomas H. Johnson, Jr., who had at one time the largest private medical practice in Minnesota. The late Dr. Johnson, according to his namesake, was one of the best plaintiff doctors to testify in personal injury cases and won over 90% of the cases he testified in as a medical doctor. "My father was cool, calm, and collected but believed in being consummately thorough in his analysis, and taught my brother and I to be the same when conducting an examination of anything". "I dropped out of my pre-med courses but both my brothers continued on with theirs, with one of my brother, Henry, going on to become a medical doctor himself with that same consciousness as our father". "What they got away with regarding malfeasance via suppression of evidence in the Simpson case was shoddy, and the case was put into our hands in late 1996 starting with the irregularities found in the autopsy reports on both murdered victims".This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/1198501/advertisement

-- By Emily Dickenson -- Emily Dickenson wrote over 1,800 poems in her lifetime, none of which were titled. Of those 1,800 only 10 were published during her lifetime. It was not until, upon her death in 1886, her younger sister Lavinia found a cache of Emily's work. Emily's first collection of poetry was published four yeas after her death in 1890. A complete collection of her work was not published until 1955 under the oversight of scholar Thomas H. Johnson. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/patrick-fennell6/support

We're excited to launch our second episode of Politics and Poetry, a new podcast about the power of poetry to engage us in political conversations. Join three generations of political activists and poetry lovers as we read and share a curated collection of ideas written by critics, reporters, authors, poets, historians and politicians to spur thoughtful discussion about the ways that poetry and politics intersect. In this month's episode, we're featuring Emily Dickinson, one America's favorite poets, and one of our favorite poets, whom we believe was an activist for truth. Join us as we explore the ways in which Emily Dickinson uses metaphors, pauses, punctuation, and radical empathetic thinking to capture our interest and prompt questions about the meaning of life--what we know, and knowing what we don't know.

He returned to Encountering Silence for a conversation recorded last April (to hear his previous conversations on this podcast, click here and here).

Emily Dickinson’s poem “1383” honors the friendships that endure across time, circumstance, and even misunderstanding. Akin to fire, the connections in these friendships may be strong enough to burn or hurt us, but Dickinson acknowledges that their light continues to draw us in regardless.After listening, we invite you to reflect on this question: Think about a friendship that has remained steady for you across the years, even as both of you have changed. Why do you think your relationship has endured?About the Poet:Emily Dickinson was a 19th-century American poet from Amherst, Mass. She wrote around 1,800 poems in her life, and her first collection of poetry was published posthumously in 1890.“1383” comes from The Poems of Emily Dickinson, edited by Thomas H. Johnson.

This week on StoryWeb: Emily Dickinson’s Poem 372, “After great pain, a formal feeling comes –” For Patricia and our students Emily Dickinson’s Poem 372 is not – technically speaking – a story. And Dickinson is not a storyteller per se. But her nearly 1,800 poems speak deeply and powerfully to the human condition. They give a still unparalleled account of what it is to be human. Poem 372 does have some elements of storytelling. Instead of “once upon a time,” we get “after this, then this.” And then Dickinson describes the numbing, the freezing, the letting go – perhaps the dying that follows loss, pain, trauma. Was she writing of a disappointment with her sister-in-law, Sue, believed by many to have been her lover? Was it a loss of a different kind? We will never know that part of the story – the who, what, when, where, perhaps not even the why. But we do very much know the how – how the loss affected her, how it feels as a human being to grieve, to feel pain. Without a doubt, this poem makes me think of my dear friend Patricia Dwyer. When she was in high school, Patricia listened as her English teacher – a Catholic nun – recited this particular Dickinson poem. Patricia was so moved that she thought, “This is what I want to do. I want to do what Sister Helen Anthony has just done.” Patricia went on to become a nun herself for twenty years, and in that time, she became a junior high and high school English teacher and ultimately a university English professor. The power of this poem came to me fully in 2002, when Patricia and I were team-teaching a course on American Transcendentalism. On our week-long field trip to New England, we went to Dickinson’s hometown of Amherst, Massachusetts. Though many scholars don’t see Dickinson as a Transcendentalist, Patricia and I share a strong belief that she was influenced by and largely in sync with the leading literary and philosophical movement of the time. After we toured the home Dickinson shared with her parents and the house next door where her brother, Austin, lived with his wife, Sue, we went to Dickinson’s gravesite at West Cemetery. There, we stood at the Dickinson family plot, bounded by a wrought-iron fence. It was a snowy March day, gray, heavy, damp. Together, we and our students stood silently, paying homage to the great poet. Out of the snowy silence, Patricia began to recite the poem. “After great pain, a formal feeling comes,” she began, as Sister Helen Anthony had so many years ago. She concluded: This is the Hour of Lead – Remembered, if outlived, As Freezing persons, recollect the Snow – First – Chill – then Stupor – then the letting go – The silence grew deeper, and without a dry eye in the bunch, we quietly walked out of the cemetery. To learn more about our journey to Amherst, visit the American Transcendentalism website we and our students created – and be sure to read Patricia’s journal reflections about reciting the poem at Dickinson’s gravesite. A good overview of Dickinson and her work can be found at the Poetry Foundation website. The definitive collection of her poems was edited by Thomas H. Johnson; it’s a volume that every poetry lover will want to own. As New England once again experiences a deep chill and heavy snow, I remember Emily Dickinson. For links to all these resources and to see photographs from our visit to Dickinson’s gravesite, visit thestoryweb.com/Dickinson. Listen now as I read Emily Dickinson’s Poem 372.   After great pain, a formal feeling comes – The Nerves sit ceremonious, like Tombs – The stiff Heart questions ‘was it He, that bore,’ And ‘Yesterday, or Centuries before’?   The Feet, mechanical, go round – A Wooden way Of Ground, or Air, or Ought – Regardless grown, A Quartz contentment, like a stone –   This is the Hour of Lead – Remembered, if outlived, As Freezing persons, recollect the Snow – First – Chill – then Stupor – then the letting go –
