A Bottle and Other Poems
About Alan Brownjohn's last individual volume of poems, Ludbrooke and Others, Sean O'Brien wrote in the Sunday Times, "If you don't find yourself laughing at and with Ludbrooke, the chances are that you're a Puritan or dead or both." Brownjohn's new book is one of his most varied and resourceful to date, featuring not only characteristically funny and entertaining poems and mysterious, gripping narratives (the title poem) but also moving tributes and elegies, love poems, and some absorbing social observation. It will confirm his reputation as "one of the most reliably enjoyable of writers."
Collected Poems
This volume comprises all the work Alan Brownjohn wishes to retain from 12 individual books spanning six decades, as well as a number of new, uncollected poems.
Windows on the Moon
Set just after the war, Brownjohn's fourth novel captures with great vividness the lives of austerity Londoners. With no sense of victory and little let-up in the daily hardships, they are just beginning to feel the beginnings of hope for the future. All, that is, except Pierre-Henri, wartime collaborator in Vichy France, who is lying low and has a bag packed just in case...
Robert Brownjohn
Robert Brownjohn's cult status is justly deserved. Although his career lasted less than a quarter century, he created more signature pieces than many designers who work three times as long, consistently producing work of the highest quality. Born in New Jersey in 1925, he was taught by Laszlo Moholy-Nagy at the Chicago Institute of Design (formerly the New Bauhaus) in the 1940s. He worked in New York in the 1950s and spent the 1960s at the epicentre of swinging London on the King's Road. Best known for his title sequences for the Bond films From Russia With Love (1963) and Goldfinger (1964), he produced numerous other influential pieces, and his impact on American and British design was unmistakeable. Brownjohn's death in 1970 deprived graphic design of one of its most brilliant and original minds.
Ludbrooke and Others
A 60-poem sequence brings a new departure in Alan Brownjohn's poetry. Ludbrooke is a rueful, proud, somewhat devious figure who negotiates the hurdles and snares of an older man's life with a combination of principle, aplomb, dexterity and romantic flair.
