The borderlands are where the past and the present and the human and the natural world meet. This is John's first poetry collection. Part One is a window into his childhood and adolescence and the events and people that influenced him along the way. It contains many amusing and some sad recollections, ending with his time as a rebellious National Service recruit; Part Two explores the shifting terrain of an adulthood that has spanned seven eventful decades. Poignant, humorous, and sometimes caught on the edge of the primeval and the mysterious, these poems paint a vivid picture of John's perspective on life from the vantage point of his 94 years.
