about this author

I run a press called Calamari Press.
I edit a lit mag called Sleepingfish.
I blog at 5cense.
I wrote a book called Poste Restante. Here's a review of it in The Believer. I did some chapbooks and collaborations before that, either as an artist or writer. Sometimes I make book covers and art for books. I like books.
I'm working on a new book called Our Mother the Fish. Hopefully I'll have it finished soon.

Chuy read and liked Ami's review of Varieties of Disturbance: Stories:

"I know that I am wrong about this. Lydia Davis is a fantastic writer. But reading this on a crowded subway home at the end of a long day made me so annoyed I could barely keep from bumping into people "accidentally-on-purpose." "
