{"product_id":"striking-a-match-in-a-andrew-mcneillie-9781800172333","title":"Striking a Match in a Storm: New and Collected Poems","description":"The Welsh poet Andrew McNeillie brings together in this generous and timely volume his seven collections of poems--including his most recent, \u003ci\u003eMaking Ends Meet\u003c\/i\u003e, and his Forward-Prize-shortlisted Carcanet collection \u003ci\u003eNevermore\u003c\/i\u003e (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 \u003ci\u003eArchipelago\u003c\/i\u003e, 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 \u003ci\u003eAn Aran Keening \u003c\/i\u003e(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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew McNeillie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1800172338\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781800172333\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Carcanet Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Andrew McNeillie","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46867144638719,"sku":"9781800172333","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_abd9b8ba-40f0-45ce-826d-26523cc40533.jpg?v=1747454014","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/striking-a-match-in-a-andrew-mcneillie-9781800172333","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
