six letters addressed to you
by Patrokolos
An issue that rumbles through the culture that I worry about
as a middle aged man is: communication - the deep, personal communication that
is possible between two or more human beings. The emergence of Twitter and
texting seems antithetical to deeper communication, and letter writing is quickly
becoming relegated to a museum of forgotten art.
When I discover a zine like six letters addressed to you by
patrokolos, my faith is rekindled. This zine is comprised of six handwritten
letters to people past and present in the author’s life. From the first
sentence it is compelling reading. Whether talking about nature, anarchy,
family, or life experiences, patrokolos always spirals back to the heart of
relationship and connectedness. His revelations are intimate, moving, and authentic
– this kind of fierce zen honesty is healing.
Copies of six letters addressed to you can be found at Sweet
Candy Distro and I highly recommend placing this high on the priority list. If
you’re out there reading this patrikolos – share more letters, please!

Thanks for the review. I'm glad you got so much out of it. There is not a second issue, maybe sometime, but Sweet Candy Distro carries my other zine "two love fragments" and there is another new zine that might get carried soon called "the discovery of the zewa with an anatomical account." I will let you know if a new six letters comes out.
I will check these out ... really enjoy the depth of your writing style!
