Meet the debut poetry zine by the (trans)cribe!
Since The Leaving is a collection of poems and artworks on estrangement and what’s after. This debut poetry zine by the (trans)cribe explores the author’s experiences with a sudden, forced estrangement from their family in 2019 and how they have attempted to still live life fully in its wake.
The 40-page, full-color collection includes hand-collaged artwork, original block prints, essays, and 15 poems written over the course of six years.
Meet The Zines!
These are just some of the latest zines from the (trans)cribe,
all meticulously folded by Queer hands.
