Beginnings Over and Over

Beginnings Over and Over: Four New Poets from Ireland presents a significant selection of work by four new poets at the beginning of their writing journeys.

Selected by Leeanne Quinn from the submissions for the 2024 Dedalus Press Mentoring Scheme, the four poets - Mai Ishikawa, Róisín Leggett Bohan, Emer Lyons and Cal O'Reilly are, in Quinn's words, writers who are "willing to risk, willing to discover, willing to alter and undermine".

Dedalus Press is proud to present the first in a series of mini anthologies, to stand with these emerging voices as they bring their attentions to bear on the world and enrich the conversation that is new writing from Ireland.
