Everyone's excited about Maria James-Thiaw's recently finished manuscript which may turn out to be the big PostDada Press 2013 Blockbuster.

"Talking 'White' ", the latest release from postDada Media, will be available April 2013. This collection of poetry takes a hard look at the taboo subject of intra-cultural bullying that takes place within the black community, whether it's crabs-in-a-basket-syndrome, paper bag tests, or just colorism in all its forms.

For some arbitrary reason or other, I've started blogging thoughts on some of the zines I've read that might fall into the category of "reviews." Though it's a minute stash I'm working from, hopefully there is a zine or two others haven't read. If you're looking for something new to read, curiosity is always welcome at: http://foggybottompress.tumblr.com/…

One of my oldest zine ideas (first featured in a now obsolete zine about postcards called PostScript) has been recycled into a new looseleaf zine: The Postcard Recycling Kit.  Includes crafty postcard projects as well as postcard labels to upcycle any artwork, waste cardstock, or any other item you choose!  More pics & further info…

TRADER SCHMOES

By Kari Tervo, Shards of Glass In Your Eye!

I have a new policy on trading: I'll send you mine when you send me yours. I rarely receive any of the zines that I was hoping to read!

Some zinesters are trader schmoes. They're people who promise a zine in return for a zine, but never send one.

A lot of trader schmoes are just…

In 81,I was living with my friend Chris on the streets.I came back to New York after bombing out in Cali.I was sure I had what it took to become a successful cartoonist,though.I just didnt have my shit together enough to print books up.I barely had my shit together enough to shoplift food,run street hustles,and find places to crash out in.But I knew I had my finger on something:my punk rock comics were funny.People liked them,and this encouraged me.They were about real things,albiet…

Aenigma! zine is a chance for me to remember a lifetime watching exploitation cinema.  Themes covered will include childhood trips to the cinema, the video nasty craze, late night horror films on tv and my love of the musical Grease and European cinema.  

But it's not really just about films, its about me, my family, my memories, finding my way through an awfully dull and old fashioned mining town comprehensive and growing up. That's what it is in essence. Nevertheless the films were…

I just finished my latest zine, Gaudy Verse. Rhymes of the most old-fashioned, out-of-date sort. Gripes about jobhunting, gripes about office politics, gripes about terrible rock concerts. It's available on Etsy, but I'd love to trade if anyone's interested.
