UCD Press

We are publishers of the best contemporary non-fiction writing and are peer-reviewed for academic excellence. Our editorial and management committees include academic members from a wide range of disciplines in both national and international universities. We are the publishing imprint of University College Dublin, Ireland. UCD Press aims to publish advanced, globally recognised research. We publish contemporary scholarly writing in a broad range of subjects including history, literary studies, music, science and more recently migration studies, gender and queer studies and architecture. Our catalogue has a special focus on Irish Studies. Our books are produced to the highest standards of design, editing and printing. We offer a bespoke editorial experience with a high level of care, support and expertise in the publishing process. UCD Press is honoured to have an ongoing collaboration with the Ireland Chair of Poetry. To date we have published the writings of Michael Longley, Harry Clifton, Paula Meehan, John Montague, Nuala Ni Dhomnhaill, Paul Durcan and most recently Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin in The Poet’s Chair series. The Ireland Chair of Poetry was established in 1998 following the award of the Nobel Prize of Literature to Seamus Heaney and is jointly held between Queen’s University Belfast, Trinity College Dublin, University College Dublin, the Arts Council of Northern Ireland and the Arts Council/An Chomhairle Ealaíon. Every three years a distinguished Irish poet is chosen for a three-year term during which he or she spends a semester in residence teaching in each of the three universities and gives an annual formal public lecture.
