my heart beats in seismic waves, by Sara Makiya and Sara Paige (poetry, 2018)
"I am a universe contained, varied and diverse
thoughts and perceptions orbit around
my consciousness; so when it seems
I am not all here,
my mind is probably somewhere
caught up in
the stratosphere"
Blurb: A meditative poetry zine about the fluid, celestial nature of the self, its ebb and flow and ambiguity.
Why is it worth your time?: It's good. I bought this short zine from someone in my neighborhood a few years back, and the mix of handmade care (the string binding, the silver that was clearly penned in by hand for each individual copy) and quiet simplicity has kept it on my shelf this whole time.
Plural Tags: abuse low focus
Content Warnings: none. The slightest implication of a past unhealthy relationship.
Accessibility Notes: This zine is, as far as I can tell, impossible to find anywhere anymore. Sara Makiya has redone a couple of the illustrations since, in full color (rather than the stripped-down black, white, and silver), but that's it. Since one of my rules for this comm is that the work has to be something you can actually get, I textually transcribed the zine here for posterity, and since emailing Makiya and Paige got no response, I finally scanned and uploaded the thing in its entirety (though the silver isn't done justice digitally). It's a beautiful little thing and I'd hate for it to be lost.
