Doire Press Welcome to Doire Press, located in Connemara
in the west of Ireland. We publish
poetry and literary

DOIRE PRESS was founded in the autumn of 2007 in Connemara by Lisa Frank, with skills and experience in both editing and publishing, and by John Walsh, who had just received a publication award from the Galway County Council Arts Office to publish his second poetry collection Love’s Enterprise Zone. And from little acorns ...
The following year Doire Press published Inheritance, Miceál Kearney

’s debut collection. This marked the first annual publication prize awarded to the winner of the North Beach Poetry Nights’ Grand Slam.
2010 was a year of growth for Doire Press, including debut poetry collections by Edward Boyne and Gerry Galvin, as well as our first book of fiction, Susan Millar DuMars’ short story collection Lights in the Distance. Since then Doire Press continued to blossom, finding its niche in publishing new and emerging writers who give voice to what it means to be Irish in a changing Ireland. These writers includes poets Adam White, Kimberly Campanello, Kevin O’Shea, Susan Lindsay, Jo Hemmant and Dimitra Xidous; and fiction writers Aileen Armstrong, Celeste Auge, Jim Mullarkey and Madeleine D’Arcy. Recent publications also include 30 under 30: Short Fiction by Thirty Young Irish Writers, chosen as a Top Ten Title of 2012 by Joseph O’Connor in The Irish Times; Galway Stories, a collection of short stories set in neighbourhoods throughout the city and county of Galway by many of Ireland’s top writers, including Kevin Barry, Mary Costello, Mike McCormack and Julian Gough; and Deirdre Unforgiven: A Journal of Sorrows, a play by Eamon Carr. Doire Press gratefully acknowledges the support of Galway County Council, the Arts Council of Ireland and the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, which have funded many of our publications.

Tidal is the second poetry collection by west of Ireland poet Karen J McDonnell.
