Johnson was born in Hantsport Nova Scotia. He began his
career in theatre (Acadia, 1996) before moving to Montréal
in the late 1990's to begin an MA in Creative Writing at
Concordia University. Montréal became his adopted
home, where he co-wrote a guide book about the city. He
published his first collection of poems, Companion Pieces
(Cumulus Press) in 1999. Johnson later released the chapbook,
Rare Poems and Other Oddities (JKL Press). For Everyone
at the Back is his second full collection of poetry. He
now lives in Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley
with his wife, Catherine and daughters, Julia Dae, Luna
and Fionah. |
