Our History
Wandering Aengus Press and its imprint Trail to Table Press are dedicated to publishing works to enrich lives and make the world a better place, because why not do as much good as we can in the world with what little time we have?
Poets will recognize "Wandering Aengus" as the title of a poem by Yeats.
Aengus is the Celtic god of love and poetic inspiration.
He was also the treasured cat of press founder Jill McCabe Johnson.
We hope readers will find something to love, treasure, and be inspired by in the books we publish.

Jill McCabe Johnson - Founder & Editor in Chief
Jill McCabe Johnson's most recent poetry book is Tangled in Vow & Beseech, finalist in the Sally Albiso Poetry Award and Wheelbarrow Books Poetry Prize and forthcoming from MoonPath Press. Revolutions We'd Hoped We'd Outgrown was shortlisted for the Clara Johnson Award in Women's Literature.

She is also author of the poetry chapbook, Pendulum, finalist for the Rane Arroyo Prize in Poetry, and the nonfiction chapbook, Borderlines., from Sweet Publications. With a deep social conscience and even deeper roots in nature and the natural sciences, Jill's aims and interests lie at the intersection of protecting what's endangered and leaning into what's just and beautiful in this world.
