On top of that I will be continuing my work with A New Ulster it is an important outlet for many in an area which has shrank a great deal lately.

Poetry is often a tool used to explore personal themes such as love, grief and hope and as with all of Richard Halperin’s previous collections, this one explores those themes. Three Red Hats includes tributes to his mother-in-law and Dennis Greig who founded and published Lapwing for over 34 yea.....

20/07/2024

When the Lapwing Takes Flight will be ready for publication this week coming. Print costs so that I can send everyone who submitted a copy come in at £300.

16/07/2024

The Lapwing gmail email doesn't work as none of us have the password to access it any enquires please contact Amos ether by his Yahoo.co.uk email or his personal gmail or failing that message the page and we'll get back to you.

We appreciate that many are concerned about the status of their work and its availability to purchase, those works belong to you and if anyone wants to take them elsewhere to be published we fully understand and respect that choice.

These rates are an indication of the fees that a freelance editorial professional, with training in the core skills and some experience, could charge for their work.

13/07/2024

Just waiting on the final okay and Three Red Hats will be available for purchase from Wednesday. It looks good it reads well I'm excited

12/07/2024

The last cover design for Three Red Hats is for the PDF version of the poetry book this is the cover for the paperback version and I'm hopeful that it will be ready soon.

03/07/2024

Last update for today and then back to work for me also due out soon and a lot more emotionally charged for me is When the Lapwing Takes Flight

03/07/2024

Also due out soon in chapbook format is The Painted Word by Richard Halperin, my father had competed most of the work on it last year however he was never able to finish it.

02/07/2024

Microsoft appears to have made it impossible to flip text for making the spines for books, worse is they are doing away with Publisher this year.

Still I can do most of the work in Office, who'd have thought that my RSA Distinction in Word Processing would still be in use after all these years.

01/07/2024

Just finished today and hopefully available for purchase by the end of the week is Three Red Hats by Richard Halperin, his 18th collection with Lapwing and the first produced by Amos Greig

28/05/2024

There's still quite a lot to do but Three Red Hats by Richard Halperin is nearly ready to publish, I'll probably be publishing three poetry books this year and there's a lot of stuff dad didn't get done before his passing that I'm working on. Granted a computer powered by hansters is probably faster than I am but we're getting there. Facebooks messenger system isn't working properly so any inquiries please send them to g.greig3@gmaildotcom

18/05/2024

Sorry folks the computer has been playing up as those who have been following A New Ulster will know we had damage to the hard drive and several other components caused by recent power cuts in the village, they've since had to put up warning signs about the overhead power cables which had been damaged by farming equipment. I started a fund raiser over on A New Ulster to buy replacement parts but that has only been running for a few days. I'm working on the anthology for dad but it may not be finished today due to the ongoing issues I'm having.

08/04/2024

I'm keeping the Go Fund Me open for now there are a couple of bills left over from before dad took ill and new equipment needing purchased as well as the very real risk of needing new software thanks to Microsoft messing around with their operating systems.

06/04/2024

I will be releasing the poetry tribute to my father on his birthday in May which means there is still plenty of time for people to send in any work they want included, my mum has even sent in a poem.

14/03/2024

Well that's the bank meeting over Lapwing's bank account is permanently closed, still a few debts to pay off somehow, I'm working on three manuscripts as well as the anthology and the magazine at the same time, it has been rough for everyone.

07/03/2024

Amos here sorry for the lack of updates we've been really busy trying to get everything back up and running, the Lapwing bank account as well as dads personal account were closed a few months back after it was discovered that someone had been fraudulently taking money out of them since September of last year if dad had been well enough to check it would have been caught sooner as it is the fraud squad is investigating. The Go Fund Me is working again and of course there's the various other methods. In the meantime I'm working on four manuscripts three of which dad had been working on before he took to ill to do anymore work.

Dennis Greig, who has died aged 76, was a poet and the editor of Lapwing Publications, a luminary poetry press in Belfast, for more than 30 years. At first glance, Dennis looked like a cross between an ancient bard and a heavy-metal guitarist. After a little acquaintance he became an even more visio...
