A noctuary is a diary for the late hours. In Niall Campbell's
poems, this is a time for reflection, discovering what it means to
be a young father, anxious, caring and protective, deeply connected
to the new, precious life of another human being. The deftly
lyrical poems in his second collection illuminate a night world of
disturbed sleep and half dream, midnight feeds, the quiet of
snowfall through the hours of dark. At the same time the grown man
now living in the city reconnects with his own childhood on South
Uist in the Outer Hebrides, the territory of his highly praised
first collection, Moontide. Hearing his father's voice in how he
calls to his son, other images of the island's seascapes, myths and
wildlife return to him in Noctuary. Noctuary was shortlisted for
the 2019 Forward Prize for Best Collection.
