  • Lightening in the Middle of the Day [Poetry Zine]

    Hello! I recently went to my local library’s zine fest & had a great time. There were so many booths and wonderful artists that inspired me to make my own zine! If you’re familiar with my site, you’ve probably seen a lot of the zine’s content, but I figured hey – let’s put a lil somethin together.

  • Overlaps – what I’m making lately

    Ever since I bought rubber stamps, I’ve been making more of these “overlap” things. They mimic the repetition of stamps with the imperfection of handwriting. I don’t know if they’re poems or a disjointed journaling technique, but I’m working with them to express how words appear in my mind as I say them. It might be the most accurate style of stream-of-consciousness writing for me. Typing it out makes it sound like I’m screaming in my head at all times, which is not the case. Promise.

  • Stamp Collecting

    It was only a matter of time. The dogs and dragons. The calendars and alphabets. The tiny pictures so easily replicable and all that confident ink. Soon, I thought in March. Soon I will give into my temptations and become a stamp collector. It is inevitable. I caved a few days ago.

    There was a moment as I played with these two, rolling the rubber carefully to avoid the edges, and this must be what people mean by stamp collecting. It’s much cooler than postage stamps.

    It’s not what they mean. People do indeed collect postage stamps, meanwhile I can’t remember which drawer mine are sleeping in [top drawer by the scissors, found ’em]. I’ll need those soon, of course. For ?? my correspondence ?? and for the letterhead, for the passionate red stamping I must do.

    This is for my correspondence.
    the dog faces the dragon.
    it’s just like you to get close, then retreat.
    it’s just like me to chase, then vanish.

    There’s more you can do with stamps than I thought. It’ll be fun to explore this new media and to add something a little extra to my letters.

    Cheers,
    Eva

    Yesterday, I flipped through my journal and found the section of doodled faces. I wrote this draft based on the drawing.
