A noctuary is a diary for the late hours, a time for reflection in these lyrical poems about discovering what it means to be a young father, anxious, caring and protective, deeply connected to the new, precious life of another human being. Noctuary is Scottish poet Niall Campbell's second collection, following his highly praised debut Moontide.
A noctuary is a diary for the late hours. In Niall Campbells poems, this is a time for reflection, discovering what it means to be a young father, anxious, caring and protective, deeply connected to the new, precious life of another human being. The deftly lyrical poems in his second collection illuminate a night world of disturbed sleep and half dream, midnight feeds, the quiet of snowfall through the hours of dark. At the same time the grown man now living in the city reconnects with his own childhood on South Uist in the Outer Hebrides, the territory of his highly praised first collection, Moontide. Hearing his fathers voice in how he calls to his son, other images of the islands seascapes, myths and wildlife return to him in Noctuary. Noctuary was shortlisted for the 2019 Forward Prize for Best Collection.
