Leftovers / Kim Walker.

"Leftovers is a photozine documenting the abandoned Christmas trees of London. The photos were taken from the beginning of January 2015, right up to the end of March. Ironically it seems the trees have a far longer lifespan on the streets than they do in our homes, and even since this book was printed i've seen a few trees, lurking, still awaiting their fate. All photos were shot on iPhone, primarily around the boroughs of Islington and Hackney." -- Artist's website (theleftovers.co)

A poem for this frontier of language / by Rumtum.

"This zine is the prototype for QUEER MASSES, a collaborative project published quarterly by RUMTUM in 2020 with generous support from The Jerome Foundation and The Minnesota Center For Book Arts. This series explores the interaction between the historical role of the book as a social object, zines as an alternative information source for queer communities, and the narrowing space between artists' books and zines in a world in which all physical publishing is increasingly rare. Words and binding are by Sarah, images are by Jade."--Provided by the artists
"We made this zine while thinking about the expansion of language regarding genderqueer pronoun useage and the similarly expansive space we feel in our (physical/ metaphysical/ emotional) bodies as gender variant people." --Provided by the artists

Adult braces / by Nicolette Sloan.

Edition of 10, unnumbered.
Hand-bound canvas/laser print zine with mixed media additions.
Nicolette Sloan attended Pratt Institute.

Boro of kings / Soner On.

"Employs photocopied collages of old school computer graphics and photographs. Tongue-in-cheek aristocratic overtones are evoked through images of falling coins, royally-minded fast-food joints, and Country Club Malt Liquor labels. Appearances by the cartoon characters Mr. Burns and Richie Rich as African-Americans complete the themes of urban royalty and riches." --Printed Matter.
