Cindy writes her zine, Doris, like she is figuring out the human condition. She makes writing about the simplest and most common things—playing music, childhood, cooking, or sex—resonate with universal understanding. She helps us make sense of more complex things like
the satisfaction from doing useful work, natural curiosity, the ability to use logic, gender dynamics, introspection, the need for challenge and change, combating depression and creating art and literature. She shares and explores the emotions involved with having an abortion, rape, dealing with the death of family, or sexual harassment in a context that is enlightening and personal, feeling like a close friend opening up to you. What’s most impressive though is that she relates these things into every article in her zine seamlessly. http://www.dorisdorisdoris.com/

Erick Lyle’s On the Lower Frequencies is at once a manual, a memoir and a history of creative resistance and fun in a world run rotten with poverty and war. Whether handing out fake Starbucks coupons for free coffee, dropping flyers on mall-goer’s heads that say “aren’t you glad this isn’t a bomb?” or having punk shows in laundromats, Lyle has shown the world over the years that you can resist consumerism and have fun at the same time. Scam, an icon of the ‘90s zine scene, is equally at home on mainstream radio, where he has done several commentaries for This American Life. http://www.softskull.com/detailedbook.php?isbn=237
