Archipelago – redux
There was a ‘gathering of voices’, in the Bodleian Library, Oxford, in October last year to celebrate the launch of the first volume, and now Clutag Press are taking orders for the second volume of the literary magazine Archipelago – to be available in the first week of April 2008. Some notes on contributors here.
To speak geographically, issue 2 ranges from Donegal, Derry and Antrim to Scotland, via Galloway, Skye and Cromarty, to descend into England at Filey Brigg. It delays a few days to explore the Wash (neither sea nor land), then puts out again to round the Norfolk and Suffolk coasts. As it progresses it turns the archipelago this way and that, celebrating it across a host of literary, artistic, linguistic, historic, political and topographical trajectories and perspectives.
