Poetry

Clutag Poetry publishes pamphlets and book collections. We pride ourselves on high but not precious production values. Especially, we seek to resist with our books the tendency in established and large lists towards a homogenised one-design-fits-all approach. We seek in an unaffected foursquare way to respect poetry and the individuality of those who make it.
These values are also to be found in the pages of ARCHIPELAGO where we have published among others Douglas Dunn, Seamus Heaney, Geoffrey Hill, Mick Imlah, Alan Jenkins, Michael Longley, Derek Mahon, Andrew Motion, Bernard O’Donoghue, Alice Oswald.

In Search of Poetry by Richard Murphy
£15.00
W.B. Yeats saw it in dramatic terms. The artist’s choice is between perfection of the life or of the work. There is it seems no half-way house. Either way there is a price to pay. In this most moving book, Richard Murphy presents us with a veritable anatomy of the Yeatsian dilemma. Here is poetry in the making, along with disturbing collateral, told with unflinching honesty.

forthcoming April this year – orders will be sent out as soon as the book becomes available
