Michael Tarachow grew up in Milwaukee, and his Pentagram Press spent the first decade of its existence in Milwaukee, Grafton, and Markesan, Wisconsin, before permanently relocating to Minneapolis.

Michael was a featured presenter in the 1995 FOR[U]MS speaker series, and his work was featured in the 1995 UWM Library exhibit The Contemporary Fine Press. The work of wood engraver John De Pol and his relationship to the fine-press community was one of the underlying themes of The Contemporary Fine Press.
