The Dolmen Press
The Dolmen Press, which operated under the guiding hand of Liam Miller from 1951 to 1987, was a beacon in a dark time for Irish publishing and occupies a central position in the story of Irish poetry after Yeats. This collection of essays, edited by the scholar and poet Maurice Harmon, is a testament to the achievement of Dolmen from the hands of the people who were closest to the press. The essays include: A Tribute to Liam Miller and to the Experience of Making the Tain Illustrations by Louis Le Brocquy; Memories of a Dolmen Poet by John Montague; and Obit and Addendum by John Calder.

Irish Literature
Irish literature's roots have been traced to the 7th-9th century. This is a rich and hardy literature starting with descriptions of the brave deeds of kings, saints and other heroes. These were followed by generous veins of religious, historical, genealogical, scientific and other works. The development of prose, poetry and drama raced along with the times. Modern, well-known Irish writers include: William Yeats, James Joyce, Sean Casey, George Bernard Shaw, Oscar Wilde, John Synge and Samuel Beckett.

Thomas Kinsella
As the author of verse ranging from the personal and psychological to the satirical and political, Thomas Kinsella is one of Ireland's most distinguished poets and critics. He has been labeled an enigma: while his early work is rooted entirely in an international literary tradition, his later poetry, influenced by Jungian philosophy and Irish myth, has been called ponderous, obscure, and abstract. In Thomas Kinsella, author Donatella Abbate Badin emphasizes the continuity in Kinsella's early and later poetry, focusing on the interdependence of his works. She argues that when the poet's themes and images are explored carefully, they constitute an organic whole. Deeply grounded in both the present and the mythical Irish experience, Kinsella's poems are reflections of the life of the poet himself.
"The Given Note"
The oldest records indicate that the performance of poetry in Gaelic Ireland was normally accompanied by music, providing a point of continuity with past tradition while bolstering a sense of community in the present. Music would also offer, particularly for poets writing in English from the eighteenth century onwards, a perceived authenticity, a connection with an older tradition perceived as being untarnished by linguistic and cultural division. While providing an innovative analysis of theoretical work in music and literary studies, this book examines how traditional Irish music, including the related song tradition (primarily in Irish), has influenced, and is apparent in, the work of Irish poets. While looking generally at where this influence is evident historically and in contemporary Irish poetry, this work focuses primarily on the work of six poets, three who write in English and three who write primarily in the Irish language: Thomas Kinsella, Seamus Heaney, Ciaran Carson, Gearóid Mac Lochlainn, Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill and Cathal Ó Searcaigh.
English Language Poets in University College Cork, 1970–1980
This book looks at a cohort of poets who studied at University College Cork during the 1970s and early 1980s. Based on extensive interviews and archival work, the book examines the notion that the poets form a “generation” in sociological terms. It proposes an analysis of the work of the poets, studying the thematics and preoccupations that shape their oeuvre. Among the poets that figure in the book are Greg Delanty, Theo Dorgan, Seán Dunne, Gerry Murphy, Thomas McCarthy, Gregory O’Donoghue, and Maurice Riordan. The volume is prefaced by Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin.
