| Notes: | The New Writers' Press (NWP) was founded in Dublin in 1967 by Michael Smith, Irene Smith and Trevor Joyce. Its purpose, in Michael Smith's words, was "to bring out a series of small books each of which will give a young poet the chance of finding the audience so necessary to him." NWP would particularly support those poets who wished to distinguish themselves from the influence of W.B. Yeats. Apart from giving a voice to younger Irish poets, NWP was concerned with publishing translations. As well as the works of Michael Smith and Trevor Joyce, the New Writers' Press published Leland Bardwell, Brian Coffey, Patrick Galvin, Michael Hartnett, John Jordan, James Liddy, Brian Lynch, Thomas MacGreevy, Tom Mac Intyre, Paul Murray, Robert Pawlowski, Geoffrey Squires, Gerard Smith, Macdara Woods and Augustus Young. It also published translations of poems by Jorge Luis Borges, St. John of the Cross, Antonio Machado, Mallarmé, César Vallejo and Francisco De Quevedo. From 1969 to 1978 six issues of The Lace Curtain: a magazine of poetry and criticism were issued. Physical description: 6 boxes.
