 The Later Poetry of George Johnston
Johnston, I suggest, who had always favoured straightforward human subjects, albeit at a generally detached and comic remove, learnt from the poets of the Faroes and Norway to write directly and unashamedly about simple domestic topics, about life still lived, in the contemporary world, close to the soil and the elements.
Johnston knows that his subject is universal but vulnerably commonplace — doubly so, in fact, since cats as pets can all too easily provoke a cuddly sentimentality, while the truth that time passes and maturity declines into the sere and yellow leaf has become a poetic cliché.
Johnston, it seems clear, has resuscitated the qualities of the ancient bards and scalds who took pride in their mastery of verse techniques and performed a function in predominantly oral societies by embodying and displaying the resonant power of words.

"George Johnston published a number of novels, many of them "pulpy" in nature to earn a living, before he turned the subject of his writing to something closer to home: his own life.
The strength of George's writing lies partly in the attention to detail and his beautiful evocation of parts local and foreign (local: Melbourne, foreign: Hydra, Greece) but it is marked also by the honestly which pervades all his work.
David, like Johnston himself, is driven, passionate and yearning, but also flawed in his insecurity, stubborness and self-centredness.
