The latest Calamari Press project I’m working on is a chap by J’Lyn Chapman, appropriate not just for the serendipity in her name (though I’m the peddler and she the author), but the writing itself walks the line of being antique and modern-minimalist; organic yet inorganic. These contradictions—along with spanning the dichotomies of tenderness and violence, stories and poems, whilst living in their own nether-neither ether—are what make it intriguing to me. It’s called Bear Stories, an animal dear to my heart, though it’s not really about bears. You’ll have to read it to find out what it’s all about. But here’s some swag to tie you over—some images I made to go in the book and a video of the making of it.
