Andrew McNeillie's new collection explores the sense of not belonging anywhere, other than in mind and in the wild.
Andrew McNeillie was born in 1946 in North Wales and brought up there, a son of the Scottish writer Ian Niall. After an unconventional start, he read English at Magdalen College, Oxford, before becoming a publisher and editor. For a key period in his life, he was literature editor at Oxford University Press. He is the founding editor of the magazine Archipelago (2007-) and runs the Clutag Press (now in its twenty-sixth year). His memoir An Aran Keening was published by the Lilliput Press, Dublin, in 2001 and reissued in 2025. Once: A Memoir came out from Seren in 2009. Striking a Match in a Storm: New & Collected Poems was published by Carcanet in 2022. A prequel to his Aran memoir, News of the World: from Rhydamman to Inishmore appeared from Lilliput in 2025.
