    If a Leaf Falls Press

    by Entropy March 13, 2018

    In a way I think writing is really a more fluid part of reading/thinking/living, which shouldn’t be as limited as it is by the fairly extreme expectations and rules our culture has about publication.

    Sutra Press

    by Entropy February 27, 2018

    “I strive to incorporate the practice of meditation throughout the entire publishing process. Poetry and books are patient, waiting to be created and read, so we attempt to work and grow like a small but well-tended garden. We search for flowers. We try to subvert the hurry of everything around us. I don’t have a car, so when it’s time to deliver chapbooks, I walk on a trail to the post office and look at trees as I follow the creek that runs through our town.”

    CWP Collective Press

    by Entropy November 21, 2017

    At CWP we hand-make our chapbooks and own the means of production. We do not outsource our printing. Each chapbook we publish is printed, folded, assembled, and stapled or sewn by us. We commission artwork from artists for book covers. Our primary goal is to keep the art of the chapbook alive in tandem with building community.

    No Press

    by Entropy August 29, 2017

    in my opinion, the small press gift economy is one that fosters good will within the community. we look to each other as our first readers, our first editors—with a sense of trust and generosity.

    Vegetarian Alcoholic Press

    by Entropy August 8, 2017

    VA is more interested in writers who create impressionable images with their words. So, rather than try and break into a market to which we don’t relate, we’re creating our own and shoving it in people’s faces everywhere we can from house parties to barroom readings to your more predictable bookstore settings.

    Robocup Press

    by Entropy April 11, 2017

    My parting words for anyone interested in publishing books: always trust your gut; prepare to spend a lot of money and make none in return; assume that you will experience some major setbacks; accept that you will disappoint others despite your best efforts to please everyone. If you still want to publish books after taking all of this into consideration, you are doing it for the right reasons, and you’ll likely be thrilled, just as we are, to publish titles that deserve to be distributed the world over.

    Reality Beach

    by Entropy February 14, 2017

    The birds in Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delights are an influence. 0 to 9 is an influence. Birds, LLC is an influence. Fuck You is an influence. Getting kicked out of many bars and clubs in New York in the late 90s is an influence. [out of nothing] is an influence. Diane di Prima’s Revolutionary Letters are an influence. The Brotherhood of Eternal Love is an influence. The joy on my children’s faces as they dance to a Flo Rida song is an influence. d.a. levy is an influence. “Not Knowing” is an influence. Being in a grindcore band when I was 14 is an influence. The video for “Genius of Love” is an influence. You are an influence, as are all of our beautiful friends.

    Meekling Press

    by Entropy August 16, 2016

    We are as delighted to publish a single sentence as we are in publishing a novel-length work. What matters is language, playfulness, openness to the encounter, the way it creates a space that’s very much its own. In this way we envision the process of bookmaking as creating a physical space for the words, where the book is not just a repository or vehicle for these words but is considered just as essential to the work. The materials at hand (whatever we can afford), the printing process, and the text itself are the major influence on the aesthetic of our projects.

    Ecstatic Peace Library

    by Entropy August 2, 2016

    We have just been working with the bass player Jørn Stubberud (also known as “Necrobutcher”) of a legendary Norwegian Black Metal band called Mayhem. He wrote an illustrated autobiography and we are his English publishers. The book is called “The Death Archives: 1984-94.” It is very dear to us.

    Dostoyevsky Wannabe

    by Entropy June 28, 2016

    Vikki is 38 and I’m 40 so we’re both the tail-end of Generation X and I think sometimes what we do harks back to a pre-internet time in the nineties. A time when the news cycle wasn’t so hectic and popular culture wouldn’t dream of featuring an article about a piece of technology like some new fitness app. Nor would there be hand-wringing think-pieces about this or that or any of the general “Capitalist Realist” hegemony of the present-day. It’s only a small hankering for the past. We’re not nostalgia-bores, we just want to keep a bit of that attitude alive whilst still checking our iPhones for email.

    Pelekinesis

    by Entropy May 31, 2016

    Pelekinesis has deep roots in the Southern California DIY art and music scene, with connections to music labels like Shrimper and the underground zine culture. Literary influences stretch back to experimental productions like Aspen Magazine and on up through Mondo 2000, with an eye on independent presses and small publishing houses. The Design of Books by Adrian Wilson and The Book by Douglas C. McMurtrie have been a constant source of inspiration, as have local bookstores and libraries. The presence of mass media imagery has been a great influence in many ways and the rise of technological developments that allow for high quality manufacturing on a small scale has provided the impetus for further exploration.
