Irish Poems of Today: Chosen from the First Seven Volumes of 'The Bell' is a 1944 anthology edited by Geoffrey Taylor. The book compiles poetry published in the first seven volumes of The Bell, a Dublin-based monthly literary magazine, and was published by Secker and Warburg in London. The anthology aimed to show "the direction Irish poetry has taken since the death of Yeats".

The Bell was a Dublin monthly edited by Sean O'Faolain. This collection purports to present "the direction Irish poetry has taken since the death of Yeats." Indeed, it's the first Irish poetry anthology since Lennox Robinson's A Little Anthology.
