Dog Ear
Dog Ear | Jim Johnstone
6 posts | 3 to read
Like the page turned down to make another / page, Dog Ear explores the marks we leave on a world whose social, political and personal markers are constantly shifting. In his fourth book of poemsand most focused work to dateJim Johnstone establishes himself as an exquisite observer of decay, both physical and spiritual. This is a universe where man resembles the final / generation of a species branching / towards an in-between. Johnstones poetry blurs past and present, private and public in a kinetic style marked by weird semi-narratives, defamiliarizing close-ups and raw self-examinations.

It is very difficult to decide on what will be a #forfontssake book, as it is both the graphics and the font that makes a good cover, but as font's go this is rather awesome and something I would like to read! @RealLifeReading

Too true. I think the more "beat up" a book, the more character it has- not unlike a person. When I love a book, it often turns out looking like a well loved stuffie. However, some editions are too pretty to touch, no matter what!

Day #12 #bookishpetpeeves #marchintoreading I used to dog ear my book pages, but no more. And if you want to dog ear your book pages, that's ok - just don't dog ear mine! I also dislike stickers on books, and switching a series cover design halfway through the series.
