The latest issue
of my favorite 8.5 by 11 inches cut and paste, black and white, monthly zine
(six pages long this time around). On the front page we open things up with
poetry `hungry as winter `. I enjoy reading Mark Rithchie`s poems,
subtle, slightly dark / melancholic / foreboding perhaps, always short and
sweet. Here`s a couple of examples:
Not a
Haiku
Snow falling
outside
Cosy
pub.
We stay
inside.
And
Text message
sent just after phoning in sick
The sun has come
out
And I feel light
as a feather.
Man, now I`m
getting thirsty here. There`s the usual monthly contributors like Gary
Simmons (the great rock `n `roll tolchock & aggravation
all over = texting madness), and A Willshaw (Doctor Thornaby
chapter 7). Next we`re treated with some DVD, book and music reviews.
There`s a nice, sad, violent, lovely short story by senior Mark Ritchie `the
lantern `. It would make a nice short drama / film noir movie. One last
thing I have to mention, There`s this weird, psychedelic, single panel
comic-strip done by Dr Adolf Steg which nearly me nightmares. It`s a mix
of old underground comix and DIY punk art, slightly disturbing. I LIKE IT! I
LIKE I(T! I LIKE! More information here: http://www.batcow.co.uk/steg/contact.htm
