From Lauren Kirshner's Open Book Toronto piece on Writing in the Hometown.

Revue Review

My little review of The Velocity of Escape is up. I first read Johnstone’s poems from the CBC Poetry Prize. Having met Jim since I know that the new book, Patternicity is coming sometime soon. I'll look forward to it.

WHAT HAPPENS

Seriously.

This

is the new book I'm most looking forward to reading right now
