%Title: A TRIP THROUGH INSANITY Volume 1 Issue 1
%Descr: A collection of random poems and prose about hypothetical
members of society who take a "trip" through insanity.
Dedicated to H.H. (chopped liver), this polemical poetry pamphlet
by the mysterious X. ray is filled with bloody visions, suicidal
thoughts and rants. Like the waif in Edvard Munch's "The
Scream," these poems shatter the silence of insanity borne of
hopeless despair, depression, loneliness. Filled with passionate
rage, sadness and yearning, "A Trip Through Insanity," reminds
one of the horrible, introspective angst we've all suffered in
the worst times of our lives, to a soundtrack by Joy Division.

%Title: HERD: Artists
%Descr:
It's a small Xeroxed publication that's creatively put together.
It's definetley geared towards feminists, but a certain kind of
feminist, an angry one. Here is a zine apparently dedicated to
art; mail-art in particular. But what it turns out to be is 17
pages of ranting about how bad and unfair the artworld is towards
women. Didn't the Gorrilla Girls make all this so very apparent
in the 80's? There is definetley a pre-occupation with the
victimism of the publisher that makes it hard to take it
seriously and makes you forget why you started reading it in the
first place. It's full of regurgitated dry statistics and
condescending complaints that makes one ask "what about the
art?". If you have tolerance, it's worth checking out. But I
would recommend reading something with more substance.

%Descr: A literary arts magazine publishing fiction, poetry, art,
photos, interviews, and reviews.
This thick magazine is chock full of interesting stuff but some
things really stand out. The first thing that grabbed me were the
surrealist paintings of Tito Salomoni. Reminicent of Magrite or
Dali but very much a unique style. I'd love to see these in
color. Really fine writings: Margaret Lewis wrote a story about
hangin' in Tangiers, Laura Bauer contributed a funny piece on
fake food, Dwight Okita told us of his struggles in theater, and
Laurie Koenings remembers scents from childhood.

impressive. The cover is filled with stapples and the

a wonderful textural feel. All kinds of cutouts and colors
makes it fun to flip throught. It even comes with a
cleanly-produced tape of some better avant-garde music.

%Descr: An literary arts zine from Chicago. Sometimes it looks like
a literary zine, sometimes like mail art. Nicely laid out

poetry, with a monthly calendar to round out the issue.
Sadness in zineland as publishers move on and their publications
die. Simone is planning on traveling to Europe in the Spring and
this may be the last issue of *Planet Roc* unless someone else

their proposal. Besides the bad news this issue is chock full of
great stuff. Finding the perfect mate, how to think for yourself,

centered around a different theme for each issue.
Mono put issue 13 on hold so that he could finish this special
issue documenting his criss-cross trip of North America. It's one
of the best travel journal zines I've seen in a while. Starting
from Maine, traveling South-West to New Mexico, then North-West
to Seattle, then back East to Maine. To spice up the story of his
travels he included a map listing his route and many
illustrations of things he saw, found, bought, and ate along the
way. Highly recomened to all conoisurs of dirt-cheap travel
writing.
Usually he has a networking section listing the contributor's
contact addresses.

Issue 1 offers work by a clutch of poets ranging from an
ex-Vietnam vet to painters and part-time gynecologists; the
combined impact of this motley crew's words is chaotic energy at
its best. Issue 2 takes you to the next level, with even more
blasphemous, iconoclastic utterances.

advantages of being a zine editor," Mark Antony Rossi and Wendell
Metzger had an interesting exchange about critiquing literature,
and Marily Tatlow presented a short story about death. A shorter

poetry, and short fiction. Each issue is differently theemed
making for a varied format.
This is the "Faks" issue with fax machine art, a "Guide to Safe

%Title: SPITBALL: The literary baseball magazine Issue 43 Spring '93
%Descr: Initially, it was started in 1981 as a forum for baseball
poetry, they now include fiction, reviews, and essays about
the sport.
I'm not a big fan of baseball but the passion these writers have
for the sport is bursting through these pages. There's several
columns (including ideas about collecting), a number of poems (by
Jane Ellen Ibur, Rod McFarland, and others), the delema of who
keeps the foul ball, memories of ballgames by William McGill, and
four short stories.
A highly specialized publication that could appeal to many
people.

You all know I'm not big on poetry but this is some powerful

all, really good poems.

*We Eat This* has some really good poetry and prose, not to
mention cartoons, photos, and other black&white images. The first
issues gets off to a good start with editor Cheryl Carmi's

note is K.K. Roeder's "With You or Without You," with the
evocative line "while again you rub the lines of your fingers
across my sealwet skin, calling a history of need." Paul Graham's
"The Rail" made me remember the subways of New York. And Sarah
Ryan's comics are first-rate. There's even an advice column.
All in all, this is a sweet package of goodies.

illustrations, photographs, short stories, poetry and book
