This zine has a limited print run of only 40 issues, and each copy is individually hand-numbered with a hand-written thank-you note.
*A zine (pronounced “zeen,” as in “magazine”) is a self-published, small circulation, non-commercial booklet or magazine, usually produced by one person or a few individuals, usually photocopied in black and white.

Phoebe Kitcher –
A brilliantly put together zine from Cath, who’s work I love to read.
Reading about other people’s lockdown experiences is still so weird to me. The isolating nature of lockdown means I still find myself surprised to realise most of the world was doing it at the same time as me.
This zine gave me goosebumps – I was struck by Cath’s willingness to be open with the reader about her vulnerable feelings, and some of the feelings I had in common with her in terms of Corona – is this going to be over very soon, or not for years?
A beautiful piece of work.
