So We Beat On

"This is a zine of true stories, poems, and photography collected by Molly. I am usually not a fan of zines that contain poetry, but the ones here are really great! Molly wrote about her grandma passing away; there are also pieces about an "Urban Narnia" and how someone screwed up their relationship. This is a beautiful zine, a perfect combination of visual art and words."

Songs About Ghosts
(NY(US)
|
"Songs About Ghosts chronicles Jasmine's friendship with a talented but troubled young piano player she met at summer camp when she was 13. While sifting through old letters and journals eleven years later, she decides to contact him again. The result is a melancholy tale which comprises one of the best perzines I've read. Jasmine doesn't need to prove her own hipness to us; she simply relates a story that is important to her and written well enough to interest a stranger as well. Anyone who went to summer camp, who started listening to the Beatles in middle school, or who reminisces over childhood mementos will appreciate her perspective. The artwork, which in any other context might seem silly and carefree (butterflies, photographs of friends), comes across as mournful in this zine: the butterflies are in Xeroxed black and white, and coins block peoples' faces from view. Overall, Songs About Ghosts is as haunting as its title suggests." Zine by Jasmine Dreame Wagner. Quoted from www.zinesters.net.
