These were followed by two titles from Randolph Healy's Wild Honey Press: Tiny Pieces[12] (1998) and A Small Book of Songs[13] (1999) In 2000, hardPressed poetry issued What is a Mountain?
In 2018, Mills was recorded reading sections from Imaginary Gardens, and Loop Walks for the University College Dublin Special Collections.
Most recently, Bremner's song cycle Logical Fallacies, setting various pieces by Mills, was included on his CD Mixed Circuits released on the farpoint recordings label in 2022.
"[18] In his book Coleridge's Dejection Ode,[19] Mays writes: "There are, of course, writers who persist in doing what they feel they have to do and succeed willy-nilly in the popular way of success, either to their dismay or indifference because it was never the point.
