PER Personal
Zines that primarily consist of first-person narrative stories and discussions of emotions and personal experiences rather than focusing on a specific subject and providing information or opinions.
Hermana, Resist (numero tres) - Red Degeneration
The 3rd issue of Hermana, Resist includes stories and writings from a queer feminist chicana and mother living with depression in the early 2000's. This issue is more introspective that past issues, as Noemi writes through the pain and talks about the things in their life that brought her to this point.
Atelier Ace Hotel: Alex Calderwood
Collection of art and short poems and humour published apparently by Ace Hotels in memory of Alex Calderwood. Extremely beautiful foreword.
Girl Swirl Zine #10
Zine includes mini-zine about Gwen Stefani
(I Wish You Were Here to Make Fun of Me)
"This zine was made in summer of 2019 (compiled in October), in conversation with myself..."
La Vida Secreta de los Gabachos (The Secret Life of White People)
"Just in case you were curious, these stories and rambles were banged out in the midst of working on a completely different writing project about guys from Mexico and Central America who sneak over the US border and ride around the freight train lines looking for work. My plan was to write exciting travel stories that would educate people about the global economy and give voice to a section of the population that hardly ever gets heard. Unfortunately, I kept finding myself in all these fucked up situations where I wanted to be able to help people who desperately needed it but all I had was my pen and my journal and it didn't feel like enough. The "Vida Secreta" title is just a perspective joke, it's coming from being a white kid writing about another people's culture and problems, trying to figure out my role in it all as an outsider and remembering to laugh."
