Wake Forest University Press

Now in its fourth decade, the Press is recognized internationally as the premier publisher of Irish poetry in North America. Its catalog list includes virtually all of Ireland’s foremost poets as well as a new generation of younger writers who are reflecting on the dramatic transformation of Irish society and the Celtic economy over the past decade and a half, along with the traditional concerns of Irish poets — faith, oppression, family, backwardness, poverty, and of course, The Troubles.
