From Publishers Weekly
Johnston works along revitalized lyric lines with a distinctive sense of rhyme and take on love and loss: Memory marks/ time in changing/ station, accent/ or form of work// yet has no finer/ calibration./ And so a crack/ runs through this cup. In six sections of finely wrought but always lucid and luminous work, Johnston takes up Beckettis distinction between Molloy & Mollose, sings Belated Songs and makes Insinuations A trembling horizon/ of elocution.

Review
Telepathy has an unnerving, foreign beauty. These richly allusive, densely written poems linger at the edge of memory... -- Elizabeth Robinson, Traffic 2003.1 (Spring & Summer)
flashy but not without substance, sophisticated but never distractingly cerebral, painstakingly structured and curious of the world outside the poet-self. -- Ethan Paquin, Boston Review 27.6 (December 2002)
