Christopher Johnson is a Duke University graduate from the Literature Program, class of 1996. He also got a M.A. in Spanish at CSU Sacramento, and a variety of work experience including State Government of California, College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP), Verizon Wireless, San Juan Unified School District, Enterprise Rent-a-Car, and at Duke University with the Coffee House and Perkins Library. This is chalked up as "Hard Knocks" with hopes of publishing books of poetry like "The Stars Were Out at Barstow," "To Canada, Mexico, and Back Again," "Pilgrimage to Here," and one book called "The River Poet" including some issues of making the Supreme Court of the United States in 2015. Controversial during the Obama administration was the novel, The Saga of the Conservative Party, artistic vision of being such a hard knocks survivor, and books written using the CSU Sacto. library like World War II: An Odyssey in Literature with another collection called California and Other Journeys
