Jack Johnstone: Jack was born and raised in California, and moved to Columbus, OH in 1979 with his wife Zoe and son Geof to attend graduate school at The Ohio State University. He received a PhD in Music History in 1984. Jack then worked for the Ohio International Trade Division until 1987, when he left to start International Risk Consultants, a specialty trade finance and export credit insurance brokerage. IRC grew over thirty years to become one of the largest specialty trade credit brokers in the U.S., with 75 employees and offices in Asia, Latin America, and Europe. Jack and Zoe support many musical nd community arts activities in Central Ohio via the Johnstone Fund for New Music. Jack plays the bassoon in his spare time, along with reading and writing poetry.

If you read our page description, it tells you all you need to know....:.......
All of the Poetry Cauldron staff were first introduced to the Columbus poetry community through the Writer's Block open mic. We would not be the poets (or organizers) we are without Scott Woods, Vernell Bristow, Louise Robertson, and all the Writer's Block "regulars" over the years..... We love Jack Johnstone and everything that he has done with Zoe for the Columbus Arts Community !! We are soo lucky to have him as our feature !!
