The Marks on the Map

Brian Johnstone-s third collection from Arc, to be published as the poet turns 70, is full of memories, from the poet-s own past and from the lives of the people he has encountered over the years. Family, friends, places, landscapes, photographs, events emerge from these pages with a clarity informed by a humanity and understanding as the poet looks back. This is a highly accessible book that will have a wide appeal, especially for newcomers to poetry.
