Description
The Welsh poet Andrew McNeillie brings together in this generous and timely volume his seven collections of poems - including his most recent, Making Ends Meet, and his Forward-Prize-shortlisted Carcanet collection Nevermore (2000).
McNeillie's poems possess the same precision and ear for other voices which have made him a noted nature writer and an influential editor of the handsomely designed eco-literature magazine Archipelago, and like it, take as their focus the 'unnameable archipelago' of Britain and Ireland, at its wilder margins, with close observation of place, community, and hands-on outdoor experience.
His celebrated memoir An Aran Keening (2001) is about a year's stay on one of the islands of that Archipelago.
His publishing house Clutag Press produces beautiful limited editions of work by some of his favourite writers - Hill and Heaney among them. He is a witty writer and an ironist, but he is also a visionary in the sense that his poems sharpen vision of the environment and the crucial minutiae of the natural world we partly inhabit.
