New Release: Breathe
A personal project and a showcase of the author’s skills in creative writing.
We are still catching up on all the amazing zines launched this spring. Congratulations, Farah Samer Zaina and her team, on the release of this stunning work of prose and artwork. An Italian translation is in the works.
Zine Description
Both a personal project and a showcase of the author’s skills in creative writing, storytelling, narrative journalism, and documenting. It is called Breathe because when our world collapses around us, we often feel besieged, unable to speak or even take a breath. We feel as if we are suffocating. Writing becomes the way to breathe, survive, and give voice to stories that need to be heard. Comprised of poems and articles published in various media outlets.
