A PUBLISHER WITH A MISSION
In Fits and Starts
Xistis Press was founded by Sarai Capael in 2004, while working in the Flatiron Building of Chicago's Wicker Park. It began as a literary journal of Investigative Poetics, with an online zine and several print issues. In that artists' community, art shows and staged events of featured stories from the Xistis zine were a periodic happening. Over time, the publishing side of the venture gave way to the art of fine art printing and curating, after Capael moved to Boston and then NYC. In Beacon, NY, Sarai Capael purchased a professional EPSON 9900 printer and has since developed her love for printing. All of our work is done by hand with an artist's attention to detail. All purchases of these X-Libris stationery products will fund the long-term literary objectives of this small press dedicated to belletrists, lovers of refined language, and fine artists.
