| Adorn. Issue #11. 58 Pages. 2 oz. $1.00. Bree-Hartville, Ohio. |
| Bree, of Adorn has put together a very thought-out zine. With eye-catching lay out and art work incorporated into each page you won't put it down until you've read it front to back. Bree writes in a way that many of us can relate to. It's like reading some of the best lyrics from a song, certain lines that stand out in your mind even after you've finished reading. Journal-esque thoughts and ideas, poetry and prose, photography, a soundtrack... "The way people call, count, recall the loves in their life is so baffling to me. Like there's some limit to how many times your heart can jump through a flaming hoop. I fall in love with something new everyday, and that's something I'm proud to proclaim." |
