Dedalus Press is one of the major publishers of contemporary poetry in Ireland (with more than 150 titles currently in print).
History
Founded in 1985 by poet and fiction writer John F. Deane, it is now run by poet and editor Pat Boran and manager Raffaela Tranchino. At present the press publishes approximately 8 new book-length publications each year, concentrating on contemporary poetry from Ireland but also regularly issuing anthologies and individual volumes by European writers in translation (often in bilingual formats).
Dedalus also represents Thomas Kinsella's Peppercanister series of pamphlets, Iggy McGovern's occasional Quaternion Press and Pat Boran's own imprint, Orange Crate Books.
According to MEAS report providing statistics for Irish poetry publications, Dedalus Press in 2018 was the joint-fourth most prolific poetry press on the Island of Ireland.[1]
