CLUTAG from the Irish clúdach meaning cover or meadow.
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, handset, and printed on an Arab press that dates from the Victorian era. Then with backing from The Christopher Tower Fund (in association with Christ Church, Oxford) Clutag took a new step to begin a more ambitious, if still modest, publication
programme.
As may be seen elsewhere in the website, the range of subsequent publications has included work by John Fuller, Seamus Heaney, Geoffrey Hill (including a CD of Hill reading from across his oeuvre, at an event in Oxford), the late Mick Imlah, Tom Paulin, Anne Stevenson. There have been book publications – a memoir and a biography – and the new magazine ARCHIPELAGO which has gone from strength to strength to become the focal point of a new premium MA at Exeter University’s Cornish Campus: Nature, Writing, and Place, to begin September 2009. Along with this initiative Andrew McNeillie has been appointed to a professorial chair at Exeter, to be based in Cornwall, at the university’s Tremough Campus.
