DEDALUS PRESS is one of the longest-established and most energetic small presses in Ireland, and "one of the most outward-looking" in Ireland and the UK, according to UNESCO.org. Supplementing our many new individual publications, our New Writers series aims to introduce a small number of emerging writers, offering a more extensive selection of their work than might easily be accommodated in a literary journal or magazine. In doing so, we hope both to encourage new talent and to whet the appetites of the many admirers of new writing from Ireland, at home and abroad. The poets included in this first volume are Marie Coveney, Clare McCotter and John Saunders.
