Allan Johnston Copper Canyon Press:
Allan Johnston is pleased to
announce his poetry collection Northport,
to be published by Finishing Line Press on 29 January 2010. Finishing Line Press is now accepting pre-publication
orders for this cycle of poems recalling life in the Northwest in the 1970s. Since pre-publication orders determine the
press run, I hope... you will consider ordering a copy, and thank you in advance
if you have done so. You can use the
form below, or order directly online by credit card. Please visit the “New Releases” link at the Finishing
Line Press online bookstore, http://www.finishinglinepress.com/
About Northport:
Self-discovery and loss—these are the touchstones of
Allan Johnston’s fine new collection that recalls the countercultural “back to
the land” movement of the 1970s. In Northport, the
poet guides the reader through the wonder and waste of the past, and to travel
with him is to suffer with him; yet it is also a transcendent chance to recover
valuable old territory, to make it new again, and to claim as one’s own “all
the beauty dancing there.” -- Richard Jones
These are beautifully-made poems of the Pacific Northwest, in Gary Snyder’s tradition of close
attention to the world, the moment, and the heft of words. It’s a pleasure to see them in print. -- Alan Williamson
