The first iteration of Lyricalmyrical began in Toronto, Canada, in the late 1990s/early 2000s. Founded by Luciano Iacobelli, Lyricalmyrical Press, (it's initial name), published works of poetry by over 100 Canadian poets over its lifespan. Each book was uniquely handcrafted, made from recycled book covers, dental floss, cloth, and glue, giving every book a distinct, DIY charm.
Luciano's press was instrumental in fostering a vibrant poetry scene in Toronto and launching the careers of many aspiring poets.
