The Dolmen Press was founded in Dublin by Liam Miller and his wife, Josephine, in 1951. The press was active until Miller's death on  May 17^th, 1987.   The Dolmen Press provided an outlet for emerging and established Irish poetic voices to publish in their own Ireland .  This exhibit takes examples of the works of the Press from Special Collections and the circulating collection,  and illuminates them with the words of Miller himself (from his illustrated bibliography, Dolmen XXV,  published in 1976),  poet John Montague, and artist Louis le Brocquy (from tributes published in The Dolmen Press a Celebration, The Lilliput Press, 2001).  The Dolmen Press Archives and Liam Miller's papers are at Wake Forest University's Z. Smith Reynolds Library

"Great publishers have a kind of diverse energy and Liam was a sort of Dublin Diaghilev during the sixties and seventies, coaxing and arranging things into existence.”
