ARCHIPELAGO, Issue Three (Clutag Press, 2009) |
Announcing the publication of ARCHIPELAGO Issue Three, available in late February / early March 2009
Clutag Press is delighted to inform you that the third issue of ARCHIPELAGO is now available.
The third issue of ARCHIPELAGO embarks on rough seas in a troubled world. It does so once again in the spirit of Herman Melville’s character Ishmael, who shipped aboard the doomed Pequod, metaphor for America and the western enterprise. Ishmael called his whaling voyage ‘a sort of brief interlude and solo between more extensive performances’ : namely a presidential election and a ‘Bloody Battle in Afghanistan’. So it is for ARCHIPELAGO. Our voyage is a brief interlude, a cry in the wilderness, across the waste of waters, in the wake of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and the luxury yacht Climate Change. Undaunted we offer celebratory interactions with landscape and nature, history and remembrance, by both writers and visual artists, including: Norman Ackroyd, Niamh Clancy, Tim Dee, Ivor Gurney (represented by five hitherto unpublished works), Michael Longley, Peter McDonald, Robert Macfarlane, Osip Mandelshtam, John Montague, Les Murray, David Nash, Bernard O’Donoghue, Heather O’Donoghue, Patrick Parrinder.
Clutag Press is also delighted to draw your attention to the creation of a new premium
MA programme based around the interests and ideals of ARCHIPELAGO called
NATURE, WRITING & PLACE at the University of Exeter's Campus at Tremough
in Cornwall.
