Where this book lives now

Origami Zoo Press closed in 2015 and this edition is out of print. Much of the catalogue moved to Bull City Press. We are an independent archive of the address, not the publisher, and we do not sell this book. To read it, look for the Bull City Press catalogue or a library copy.

More on the form this book belongs to: what a chapbook is. Back to the shelf.

Origami

An independent record of short-form literary publishing: the chapbook, flash fiction and the lyric essay.

Origami is a new and independent project published at the former address of Origami Zoo Press. We are not that press, we are not affiliated with it, and we sell nothing. Where a book remains in print we point to the press that carries it (much of the original catalogue is at Bull City Press).
