Nazareth Sand
(US)
"On each page or two of this zine, J writes a letter to God.  These letters talk about her loss of faith, her sexuality, her mental illness, and being raped.  The words in "Nazareth Sand" are very powerful.  Here is an excerpt: 'Dear God - Ages sixteen through eighteen were my worst years.  I was promiscuous.  I hated myself.  I hated my life.  The only way I could get some relief from the nagging self doubt that plagued me was to sleep around.  I never felt it was a sin.  I didn't believe in you.  I have turned my life around completely.  I have been with Brian for four years.  I like myself, and am on the way to loving myself.  I am still pretty empty though.'  Please note that this zine may be triggering to those who have mental illness or were abused." (Quoted in Driving Blind Distro) Available to order from Driving Blind Distro

Navigator, Equator
(US)
"Andee changed the name of her zine from Make Me Numb to Navigator, Equator.  However, her writing style and fantastic way with words have not changed.  Andee explains her zine in the introduction: ' This issue is about my relationships with Vermont and Pensacola.  I have been bouncing back and forth between them for the past 15 years of my life.  Vermont, then Pensacola, then Vermont, then Pensacola, then Vermont again.  There were places in between, but they were filler.  It's about dissecting why these two places are different than the others, why they're important, and what it is that keeps drawing me back.  Ocean vs. mountains, city vs. town, friends vs. family.  Finding family in friends and friends in family.'

In her zine, Jenny discusses for example stereotypes against "fatness"and criticizes the exclusive policy of the Michigan women's music festival. I really enjoy reading her thoughtful pieces!
