Clutag Press

The Clutag Press was established in 2000 as a venture by Andrew McNeillie to issue Clutag Poetry Leaflets, by established and emerging poets.^[1] In 2004, it received backing from The Christopher Tower Fund (in association with Christ Church, Oxford, Oxford University).^[1] As a result, it began issuing more substantial poetry pamphlets, full-length books, and CD sound recordings.^[1]

Archipelago

In summer 2007, the Clutag Press launched a new magazine: Archipelago.^[4] Its first issue featured contributions from: Paul Thomas Abbott, Norman Ackroyd, John Beatty, Julian Bell, Roger Deakin, Greg Delanty, Seamus Heaney, Mick Imlah, Nicolas Jacobs, Andrew Kahn, Michael Longley, Robert Macfarlane, Derek Mahon, Osip Mandelshtam, Andrew McNeillie, Gail McNeillie, David Nash, Bernard O'Donoghue, Angharad Price and Mark Williams.^[4]

Writing in the Guardian, Robert Macfarlane said its tone was "praiseful and attentive, content to acknowledge both the mystery of placehood and the strangeness of material fact."^[5]
