…is now in my Etsy shop.
It follows the same pattern as the first two issues, more or less, although there is a bit of a change in the contents – nothing drastic, but in this issue, for the first time, I’ve included a fiction piece. Against that, there are only two poems. I want it to keep the same vibe, but I also want it to change and grow. There is one piece of my artwork included, and I think I might use more of this in future editions. But that vibe is still folklore, psychogeography, speculation…
And my timing is atrocious. All three issues so far have been compiled just before Christmas, so by the time they’ve been printed up we’re into January. If I had any commercial acumen, they’d have been up for sale around the end of November just in time for Christmas.
But I haven’t. Put it down to the anti-capitalist in me.
Initially, I had thought I would limit the zine to four issues, but I think now it might go on for a little longer than that.
We’ll see.
And I also have a zine on a completely different subject almost ready to go to print. Watch this space!




That photo of the poles and wires is especially intriguing. Looking at the contents, it seems it might be suited for a little “Christmas in July” promoting. People seem more and more likely to begin purchasing gifts ahead of the actual season, especially if they find something that might appeal to someone on their list. Early gift buying is a great way to reduce the stress of the season that many feel.

I’m all for that! Even I usually buy my Christmas gifts by the…er…22nd or 23rd December…

Congratulations, Mick. I see it’s only available as a paperback which, while suiting its nature, doesn’t work for me. No postal system here.

I know we’ve talked about that before, Robbie. Hopefully things will improve before too long!
