Summers Are Other by Andrew Neilson
Rack Press
Published 11th September 2025.
Andrew Neilson was born in Edinburgh and lives in London. He co-edits, with Kathryn Gray, the digital poetry journal, Bad Lilies. From the funerary rites for a pet hamster to a lament from Tang Dynasty China, Summers Are Other draws its inspiration from an eclectic range of sources. Throughout Andrew Neilson's debut pamphlet, however, the poems are drawn from a sustained meditation on transience and the ties that bind us. “There is much to admire in Andrew Neilson's poetry - its sober aplomb, for example, its musical exactitude, and the humane steadiness of its gaze at love and mortality. This is a very welcome sample. More, please.” Sean O”Brien
