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.
