Paper Cuts: Zines with Craven Rock vol. 1
Monday, April 7, 2014 11:04 — 1 Comment
At this point in my life, I’ve done more writing than just about anything else, except maybe putting it off. A whole lot of folks interested in writing have asked me “have you been published?” when they find out I write. This is usually followed by a “how do you get published?” When I tell them I started by self-publishing, that I put in my dues making zines for years, that’s usually where I lose them.

A man leaning over a chair, another man squatting shirtless, a woman helping to pick up a friend by his arm. These moments, often lost in the day-to-day, are not forgotten by artist Anne Petty.

Now we – the Seattle band Friends and Family – would get to see the sunrise over the Cascades in an hour or so as we slowly made our way to the festival we had been so looking forward to. While our drummer and electric guitarist fried up some potatoes and brewed the coffee, our auxiliary percussionist and I stepped out to face the trunk of the Rhino (the Buick […]

What I discovered: there is no such thing as too much beauty, too much poetry, or too much limoncello! I ended my Wednesday night of APRIL’s festival (Authors, Publishers, and Readers of Independent Literature) eating chicken rice at Kedai Makan. But really, I wish I ate “pieces of toast dipped in toilet water†because that’s what one Mark Leidner poem deliciously suggests.Â
