micropress

A type of publishing house that consists of usually a single person and that
produces short print runs of usually small and partially handmade
publications. (There are many examples of such early micropress operations:
bpNichol and David Aylward’s Ganglia Press and d. a. levy’s 7 Flowers Press
published visual poetry in a wide variety of formats. At this point, the
mimeograph revolution propelled the micropress movement.)
