Brought to us by Ivana Stab and Jasmina Berber, Heart Beating for 168 Seconds is a heavily collaged multi-layered quarter sized zine. With text and images working well with each other, this work really shows us how simple and good a zine like this can be. Their writing is thought provoking, and allows us an unflinching look into the mind of a young Aussie Zinesters. I like this work, it’s a one-shot though, I really think it would make a great series. It shows what people can do when they take their time with the glue stick & paper.

Snippet:

“Nothing seems real

People, songs, stars in the sky

We dissolve into the night

Becoming a salty memory for each of us to smile at

For each of them to scorn at

And for the morning to erase”

Two bucks and worth every dime.

William Davidson’s Yee Ha! Is a quirky little artzine. The drawings are crude and have overtures toward cubism, but appear to be done with charcoal or crayon. Completely image based, this issue appears to focus on various states of laughter. It’s an interesting piece of work, and is much like walking into a museum; you have to view the whole show to make up your mind what you like. Quarter sized, twelve pages for a buck and a half.

William Davidson returns, this time with an odd comic panel sequence, beginning with a female nude whose image is altered from panel to panel. It’s an interesting transformative set of panels, while certain images might be disturbing, if you look at this artwork as a whole unit, it’s very interesting and evocative. Quarter sized, twelve pages for a buck and a half.

Brandon Follett’s collection of poetry has a nice color cover and has a nice heavy cardstock heft to it. Brandon’s poetry is emotive and rich, it’s like drinking a good Chianti. His topics are varied, and run the gaumet from lap dances to poetry readings. Brandon’s poetry is solid and the zine is well put together. If you're into poetry, this is a very good selection of work.

Snippet:

“Our relationship was a drinking binge

In a windowless basement.

Sometime when I awoke

I’d open the door

And it would be pitch black

Except for the glow of the full moon,

Other days I’d wake blinded by sun.”

Half sized, Five dollars

Ben’s back and as funny as ever, with the, “Refreshingly Retro Pineapple Tart Issue”. While I’m not sure what Ben’s been dropping these days, his writing is every bit as funny and clear as the first three issues. From Maritza’s extended television viewing schedule, to Dance Dance revolution contests, Ben dances the gaumut of topics with his dry wit. I favored Hennepin’s article about Johanna Edina. Good work as usual, Ben and only a dollar and a half

Snippet:
“Walking so early in the morning reminds me of school. Having to ride the cheese bus. It’s the crispness in the air. Ooh, step on the leaf again…I adore that sound”

Jessy Kendall’s poetry zine is a very surreal experience. It’s the kind of thing that you want to read before you go to sleep, because you know you’ll get some killer dreams about it. When we open it, the first poem we see the text is distorted, and looks very cool. While not limited to poetry by any means, this zine is very stream-of-consciousness and has heavy mail art type collage in it. It’s free for the asking, and you can contact Jessy at shirkATriseupDOTnet Very cool.

Snippet:

“I’m drunk walking with vinnie george

And our drums to the gypsy camp trying to fill

The glass piece just given to me.

I look down this corridor of black

With points of soft light”

Rose Young’s initial foray into the zine world brings us a lightly collaged poetry zine, very simple and very evocative. Her poetry is direct, and it’s intention is to cause the reader to think and feel. From works based upon battles to finding herself, this little quarter/rough zine is a bit like life itself – a bit of this and a bit of that. A buck and a half and a very good little poetry zine.

Snippet:

“Finding myself, with every single breath
Finding my way, in a tide of rage.
The way I was raised.
Breaking and Shaking, my crystal cage.
Watching the pieces shatter,
To the ground.
Each piece a glittering treasure
But so very dangerous, too.”
