He studied with Raymond Carver while earning his MFA from the University of Iowa. While still enrolled, his first collection of poetry, The Man Among the Seals (1969), was published. During the next few years, Johnson published several collections of poetry, including Inner Weather (1976); The Incognito Lounge (1982), selected by Mark Strand for The National Poetry Series in 1982; and The Veil (1985); as well as four novels, including Angels (1983), which received the Sue Kauffman Prize for First Fiction from the Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters. During this time he struggled with alcoholism and various other addictions. It was out of these experiences that he wrote his breakthrough volume of stories, Jesus' Son (1992), which was later adapted for the screen. Tree of Smoke was published on September 4, 2007.
