Meadow Press was established In Iowa City, Iowa in 1974. At that time, Leigh McLellan was a student at the University of Iowa working toward an MFA in poetry in the Writers Workshop. In autumn of 1974, I took Introduction to Typography from Kay Amert and printed my first book, Stepping Out, which sold out in one week in February 1975. In the spring I took an apprenticeship class from Kim Merker at the Windhover Press and continued there through the fall. Four more books were printed at Kay's Typography Laboratory during the years 1975-1977, as well as many posters for the university.
