A poetry press based in North Oxford.
Why ‘Anelog’?
Anelog is a village on the Llŷn Peninsula: a finger pointing away from North West Wales towards the Irish Sea. On that spit of land a glut of stories floats to the surface: of scholar-wanderers and church bell thieves; of a gleaming choir of sunken saints and ogre poets.
Apart from the obvious punning potential, choosing to name this press after a small settlement might be seen as an odd choice. In fact, it is for exactly this reason that we were inspired to choose Anelog. That is, the tales of the Llŷn burn all the more brightly for being told at the margins.
Anelog, an off-the-beaten-track sort of place, feels a fitting name for an off-beat idea: a poetry press powered by a letterpress printer.
