[edit | edit source]The press was founded in 1988 by Dennis and Rene Greig.[1] Since then it has published over a hundred and fifty poetry collections.[citation needed] Lapwing Publications publishes in a variety of formats: pamphlets, chapbooks, and soft back books.[2] Lapwing Publications sells some of their pamphlets in E-Book format and plans to eventually have the entire back catalogue in electronic form.
