Govanhill Mythology is a poetry collection on change, transmission, community, appearance, language, and sound. It peers through the kaleidoscope of Govanhill, Scotland's most culturally diverse area, through its many years and eyes. It draws on literary traditions from Ireland and the Western Isles to Paris as tools to understand an area where the streets are principally named after royalty, but the poverty is rife.

Through both a modern and historic lens, Johnstone divulges into the landscape and living conditions in one of Glasgow's most deprived areas. We are taken on a philological journey through an intercultural melting-pot of marginalisation that is redeemed in its raw sense of community.
