DFW's Best of Prose Poem Review

Chris Forster has a nice little article on his site, When David Foster Wallace Reviewed My Professor, about DFW's Rain Taxi Review from 2001 of The Best of the Prose Poem: An International Journal [via www.theknowe.net and the Uncollected DFW page].
 
Chris writes:
 
But what made reading this review a little uncomfortable was that I feel like I know The Prose Poem: An International Journal pretty well. When I was a student at Providence College, I sat in Peter Johnson’s office literally surrounded by it; copies from the printers were around his entire office in the basement of Philips Memorial Library. As editor and author of the volume, Johnson becomes the object of much of the review’s critique.
