Central to each volume is the struggle with identity at a time of great social change. Justifiably acclaimed for his exquisite rendering of acute states of mind, Johnstone explores pressing questions about the ubiquity of surveillance and social media, and evokes, with a powerful intelligence, the neurosis of living in a consumerism-obsessed era. \u003ci\u003eInfinity Network\u003c\/i\u003e not only attempts to capture the changing ideas of personhood, but also tries to create a new kind of verse to track it--a complex, bold, stark style able to give uncanny interiority to our digital dreads. As our lives descend further into disinformation and algorithmic control, Johnstone has emerged as the laureate of, in Keats's words, truth \"proved upon our pulses.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJim Johnstone\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of five collections of poetry, including \u003ci\u003eThe Chemical Life\u003c\/i\u003e (2017).
