Perzines

Graceful Party

Half-size. First issue printed in August 2014. Most recent issue printed in May 2023.

This is my first zine, most active when it was distributed at local open mics between 2015-2016. Perzine is a contraction of "personal zine"; the contents here jump around in all directions, sometimes reviewing music or books, sometimes displaying original work, sometimes just talking about whatever I want to talk about. The name "Graceful Party" comes from a clan of alligator lizards that lived in our backyard when I was a kid.
