Zine Fest!!!

This week I'm sharing the latest episode of The Ponca Poet's Podcast from over on my Patreon, to give listeners a taste of what's happening over there. Happy Fall, stay magical, and rock on!!!*Do you remember the first time you came across a zine? The most recent time you flipped one open? Maybe it was filled with hand drawn comics, vegan punk recipes, a tour of the best local bridges to write poetry under...This past Saturday I had the joy of participating in Astoria's First Annual Zine Fest. It was festive, colorful, diverse, well-attended, a unique happening with a ton of super creative zine-makers composing its heart. It was a blast.On this episode, I do a recap of the Zine Fest, a behind-the-scenes (behind-the-zines maybe?) day-after storyteller zinester's share, having some sincere fun and celebrating zine culture as I've known it. I also read a poem from local poet Logan Garner, from a zine of his I picked up at the fest that he created specifically for the fest.So, grab a mug of your favorite beverage, give yourself a big do-it-yourself hug, and enjoy!!!
