Biographical / Historical
The Dolmen Press was a private printing press set up by Liam Miller and his wife Josephine Miller, originally in their Dublin home, in 1951. Their ambition was to print the work of contemporary poets, and by 1958 a Dolmen Press printing shop was established in Dublin. Printing was done on their own printing presses for the first twenty years, and the Press supplemented its book publishing with printing posters, programs and other short print-run items theatres, galleries and individual clients. The Press ended with Liam Miller's death in 1987.
Thomas Kinsella, Austin Clarke and John Montague are among the poets whose work was published by Dolmen Press.
