Johnston works along revitalized lyric lines with a distinctive sense of rhyme and take on love and loss: Memory marks/ time in changing/ station, accent/ or form of work// yet has no finer/ calibration./ And so a crack/ runs through this cup. In six sections of finely wrought but always lucid and luminous work, Johnston takes up Beckettis distinction between Molloy & Mollose, sings Belated Songs and makes Insinuations A trembling horizon/ of elocution.
