WELCOME
WELCOME to the home of the Dedalus Press, poetry from Ireland and the world, one of the major publishers of new poetry in Ireland since 1985. We’re a not-for-profit publisher, so every time you purchase a book you support new poets and new poetry. (Dedalus Press also distributes Orange Crate Books, Pat Boran’s independent series of publications, and other occasional publications by Dedalus poets.) To keep up to date with new publications, open calls for submissions etc, be sure to join our Mailing List or follow us on Facebook. To subscribe to a year’s new publications, by post, at a discounted rate, see HERE.
At this difficult time for so many, we’re putting our faith in the most intimate of art forms. Now more than ever Poetry Matters: Spread the Word.
