Bear Stories by J'Lyn Chapman
Bear Stories is a series of investigations into the violences of erotic love, where violence is figured as a natural consequence of the body's vulnerability. These "stories" seek to describe, implore, and seduce their audience. But they are also the mind trying to come to terms with the paradoxes of desire, wherein the "domestic" habits of care of oneself and care of the other take on an unreal quality, constantly under threat from the natural world, just as the body is under threat, the mind is under threat, language is under threat. While the speaker enters the uncanny and haunted wilderness with the distance of a visitor, her desire and language swell into an embodiment of the "grid and viscera."

Calamari Press titles are distributed by Small Press Distribution or they are available from Powell's Books, or of course you can get them directly from the press.
Who I'd like to meet: People who want to read these books, or like-minded books, artists, and the people who create such like-minded things.

The fall issue of NANO Fiction will be here sooner than you know it.
We print a very limited number of magazines. The best way to reserve a copy of the fall issue, and future issues to come, is to purchase a subscription. With a one year subscription you will receive both of the upcoming Fall and Spring issues. You don't have to worry about the magazine selling out or the rising costs of shipping.
If you just want to reserve of the latest issue before it hits the shelves, then you can do that too! Copies are only $6.
