Prof. W. Lawrence Lipton holds degrees from New York University and Pace University;
he has held positions with Husson University and the University of Maine. He first came to
international attention in the late 1970's, when his work was recognized throughout the British
Commonwealth, and his biography was included in the British and Indian equivalents of the
American “Who’s Who in Writers, Editors, and Poets”; this was corrected in 1980, when Marques
– the Who’s Who publishers – introduced their American, and in the next year the American and
Canadian, version. Lipton has remained a listee for the past thirty years.
