Tangerine Press was set up in 2006 to publish outsider poetry, prose and graphics in handbound, hardcover limited editions. All books from Tangerine use archival quality papers and boards, conservation glue and hemp cord. Last year saw a two volume celebration of the poet William Wantling, to whom this first issue of Dwang is dedicated.
