About Dedalus Press

back

Twenty-five years old this year, Ireland's Dedalus Press is dedicated to contemporary poetry from Ireland, and to poetry from around the world in English translation. Under its current editor, the poet and broadcaster Pat Boran, Dedalus continues to introduce the work of new writers and, through anthology and other projects, to re-introduce readers to its many backlist titles.

As well as poetry titles per se, the press occasionally publishes prose volumes on the subject, or titles by poets working in other forms. Established with a broadly modernist outlook, the press is primarily interested in serious writing but recognises and celebrates the broad diversity of styles that makes up contemporary poetry, from Ireland and further afield.

Described by UNESCO.org as “among the most outward-looking poetry presses in Ireland and the UK”, Dedalus publishes a podcast on iTunes (‘AudioRoom: New Writing from Ireland’) and is actively engaged in 'spreading the word' in print and online.
