My first attempt at an independent zine. :) I've become quite a bug lover; if you are too, tell me a fun bug fact! Thank you for reading!

    I saw R.C.'s zine and had to check out yours. The visuals are excellent. Loved it.

    The images and the poetry are so well done! It was so fun to scroll through! Also, it was cool to see a hammerhead worm on the "I dig deeper" page! Before this year, I had never seen one in real life, but I saw two this spring. Unfortunately, they are invasive were I live. As for a bug fact, I recently learned that there is a moth called a Polyphemus moth. It has eyespots on its wings, so it was named after the cyclops in the Odyssey (according to Wikipedia lol).

    This is beautiful. What a great twist on the age old question: Would you love me if I was a worm?

    Wonderful use of words to turn a trend (would you love me if I was a worm?) into something evocative and beautiful <3 A top notch, inspiring zine!!

  • This was a challenge with R. C. Taylor to create a zine! Please check out her zine and other amazing works!
