Zookeeper Poetry Zine

[urbpan]

So I can't stop making zines! Because of that last post, I'm actually considering making a poetry zine. All the poems must be written by zookeepers or ex-zookeepers, and the poems must be about zookeeping in some way.

I'm actively soliciting illustrations. They should be black and white, easily reproducable (by photocopier) and have something to do with zoos.

If I get enough submissions soon enough, I'll put it out by the boston zine fair, March 19/20. (Don't worry, Alexis, I won't make you work on it [unless you really want to]).

Nice!
I don't think we'll have enough by the Boston Zine Fair, but I'll slowly collect them until there's enough.

What exactly is a zine fair? Do most major cities have one?

A zine fair is basically like any other trade show (auto show, eco-fair, comic book convention) but more fun, since zinesters do it for love, not money.

Many major cities have them--expecially cities with vibrant college/anarchist/transgendered communities.

Ok, and so a "zine" is a magazine? A low circulation, "non-professionally" produced magazine?

Exactly.
