Our inheritance
A family press. A continuing conversation.
Shaped by poet and landscape designer Peter Kidd, Igneus grew from a conversation among writers into a lasting home for independent voices. Gardening, poetry, and publishing shared a place in his work.
Today, Dr. Sophia Kidd carries that work into new conversations between literature, art, and cultures.
