Archipelago was one of the most vital literary magazines of the early decades of the century. It ran to twelve numbers from 2007 to 2019, edited by scholar-poet Andrew Mc Neillie with the assistance later of James Macdonald Lockhart. Begun as an attempt to reimagine the relationships between the islands of Ireland and Britain, it brought together divergent voices in creative conversations that have transformed the study of islands, coasts and wilderness. The work journeys here and there from the Shetlands to Cornwall, and from the Aran Islands to the coast of Yorkshire, exploring the cultures of diverse zones through some of the best in contemporary writing about landscape, place and people. It lends a telling perspective to our world now fast being defined by climate and environmental degradation.A gathering of poetry, prose and visual artcentred upon the Irish and British archipelago, these varied contributions beckon the readertowards a ‘Raised Beach’ of words and imagesagainst the attrition of digitised modernitythrough this constellation of writers and artists.
