Calamari Press can be defined as an apparatus by which the impression or liquid of a living and highly edible inkpot is expressed, or the publishing establishment or building where said activities take place. Was it Freud who characterized language errors as lapsus linguini (slips of the tongue) and lapsus calamari (slips of the pen)? "Founded by Derek White (creator of Sleepingfish magazine) and only a few years old, Calamari Press out of New York City, is creating a buzz for itself publishing texts that are unconventional, yet eminently readable...." -Robert Bell, for New Orleans Review "Calamari Press titles and its journal, SleepingFish, are environments in book-object form ... As inside the abandoned museum, inside Calamari Press publications the world is included in the reading, and the world is also the book, there for our reading." -Selah Saterstrom, in Tarpaulin Sky
