Davida Gypsy Breier
22 pages /digest / $2
I am always looking for resources to help with the age-old
dilemma of how to explain to people: what is a zine? Davida’s Meta Zine is possibly the clearest,
most concise guide to zines I've read thusfar. Opening with a thoughtful
passage by Al Burian on Why Write, Davida’s zine introduces the world of zines
in a natural flow. She tackles with grace the koan “What is a Zine” (I
imagine Zen masters asking this of their novitiates). A brilliant essay follows
titled “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, It Is Being Published”. Part Two
of Meta Zines delves into the process of making a zine which such clarity that
anyone who reads this will be able to create their own vision if they so
desire.
The magic message is that only you can start the
revolution. Unplug the television and let your creative self dance.
