A grounded yet playful collection from an assured poet, flexing his
muscles into newer territory. As well as the deep lineage of rural
landscapes that populated previous collections, here Johnstone
treats us to an extended trip to the circus, where the glitz and
thrill of the big top and its stunts are peeled back to allow us
into physical and emotional rigour that forms the show's scaffold.
Elsewhere poems transport you more literally through film and TV
history, around Europe and into the past, again balancing between
illusion and the tension that supports it in the more mundane real
world. And throughout, the tone and language also plays an
ingenious balancing act between the structured, rhyming and
informal. This is a personal and expansive collection, honest and
exploratory.
