Calamari Press (now known as ''Calamari Archive, ink.'') is a small-press book publishing company, founded in 2003 by Derek White. It has published over 50 book objects, including the literary magazine ''Sleepingfish'' and the acquired 3rd bed imprint.〔(Sleepingfish )〕 Some of these have been first books by emerging writers such as Blake Butler, Miranda Mellis, Robert Lopez, Peter Markus and Chiara Barzini, while others have been resurrected reprints of out-of-print cult classics by established writers such as David Ohle, Gary Lutz, Stanley Crawford and Scott Bradfield. ==Overview== Calamari Press started as an outlet for Derek White's own home-brewed chapbooks and collaborations of art, visual poetry and prose, and the lit mag ''Sleepingfish''. Early collaborators included Carlos M. Luis, Sandy Baldwin and Wendy Collin Sorin. In April 2005, Calamari Press published its first perfect bound book, ''(The Singing Fish )'' by Peter Markus, which received acclaimed reviews in places like ''American Book Review'' and ''DIAGRAM''. This was followed by ''Land of the Snow Men'' by Norman Lock (a literary canard penned under the name of George Belden), ''Trilce'' by James Wagner (homophonic translations of Cesar Vallejo's ''Trilce''), and ''The Night I Dropped Shakespeare on the Cat'' by John Olson. By the fourth issue of ''Sleepingfish'' (issue #0.875), Robert Lopez had joined Derek White in editing the publication, which still contained smatterings of visual poetry and text/image, but more experimental prose, perhaps in response to the void left behind by the folding of ''3rd Bed''. The fifth issue of ''Sleepingfish'' (#0.925) was published in May 2007. In the fall of 2006, Calamari Press re-issued Peter Markus's first book, ''Good, Brother'', followed by White's own ''Poste Restante''. In early 2007 came ''Part of the World'' by Robert Lopez and ''The Revisionist'' by Miranda Mellis, an excerpt of which appeared in the June 2007 issue of ''Harper's''. In 2008, Calamari Press acquired the 3rd bed imprint. In 2009, Calamari Press relocated to Nairobi, Kenya, where it published Blake Butler's ''Ever ''(novella) and ''Boons & The Camp'' by David Ohle. In 2010, Calamari Press relocated to Rome & published titles by Vincent Standley, Gary Lutz and Chiara Barzini. In 2013, Calamari Press moved back to New York City & re-issued ''The History of Luminous Motion]'' by Scott Bradfield and the 12th issue of ''(Sleepingfish )'', with which it celebrated its tenth anniversary and announced it would be subsequently online. The anniversary issue was written up in Poets & Writers Magazine in an article on avant-garde journals, citing interest in the issue's "spectral maps" by Daisy Atterbury, image-texts by Nance Van Winkel and an "array of indices" by James Wagner. In 2014, it published books by Elizabeth Mikesch, Brandon Hobson, Stanley Crawford, Beth Steidle, David Ohle and Laura Ellen Joyce. In September of 2014 Calamari Press changed its name to ''Calamari Archive, ink.'', (announcing that ) it would no longer publish copy-righted works and aggressively participate in the American economic machine. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Calamari Press」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
