“Infinity Network is a spare, sculpted, and devastating collection that fearlessly explores the outermost range, reverb, and implications of identity politics and techtopia as pale substitutes for human vitality and interdependency. “ – Virginia Konchan, On the Seawall on Infinity Network “Dog Ear poses personal impressions and collective questions - what we leave behind, if anything, in the physical world - by cultivating images and semi-narratives that are deeply, and sometimes, ridiculously human. In doing so, Johnstone's poems confidently confront love, death, and spectacle.” – Brick: A Literary Journal on Dog Ear “Johnstone’s poems realize that 'Scuse me while I kiss the sky' was permeated with 'Nothing to do, nowhere to go, / I wanna be sedated' from its very origin and, by now, has given way to it entirely.” – A. F. Moritz, Hamilton Arts & Letters on The Chemical Life
