Description:

I'm trying to challenge myself to write some zines. Something I've always wanted to do but just haven't gotten to yet. So I'm starting this swap to kick myself in the butt and get it going!

For this swap you will make a poetry zine and send a copy to each of 3 partners. The poetry can be by you, or you can use poems from others from whom you have gotten permission, and they can be about anything. It should be at least 8 printed pages long and include at least 8 poems. They can be short poems, long poems, whatever you like, as long as there are at least 8 of them. The zine itself can be any size. You can type or hand write the poems, but if you choose to hand write them take care to make sure they are legible. I also encourage you to illustrate or embellish the zine visually somehow if you want to, but it's not required.

Swappers with at least 5 rated swaps (letter, postcard and email swaps not included in that total) and a rating of 4.8 only please. I reserve the right to drop swappers at my discretion. I will wait until the last day to drop (except in the case of known flakers, and if you see one feel free to PM me).

I finished mine today. I'll admit up front that I don't remember writing any poetry since grade school english/reading classes. So, you aren't getting fine literature, but I guess no one is expecting that anyway. I had great fun making my zine, and am looking forward to the swap. Thanks for hosting this, crweixelman!

Dropped mine in the box this evening. I made a mini zine with haiku. Hope y'all enjoy!!
