Archipelago is one of the most important and influential literary
magazines of the last twenty years. Running to twelve editions, it
was edited by scholar-poet Andrew McNeillie, with the assistance
later of James McDonald Lockhart, and began as an attempt to
reimagine the relationships between the islands of Ireland and
Britain. Archipelago has brought together established and emerging
artists in creative conversations that have transformed the study
of islands, coasts and waterways. It journeys from the Shetlands to
Cornwall, from the Aran Islands to the coast of Yorkshire, tracing
the cultures of diverse zones through some of the best in
contemporary writing about place and people. This collection
gathers poetry, prose and visual art in clusters grouped around the
Irish and British archipelago, with contributions from an array of
significant artists. With fifty contributors, Archipelago: A Reader
includes: Moya Cannon is an Irish poet with seven published

storytelling and art in Britain and Ireland away from the south and
east and towards the north and west; away from the metropolis and
towards the margins.' -Robert Macfarlane
