About this Event

Each week of Poetry Month the Piper Center will host a “Write-in” comprised of 30 minutes of discussion from a local poetry expert, and 60 minutes of writing time. 

This Week

Zines are self-published, uncensored, and self-made pieces of art.

We will talk about how to self-publish a zine and the different formats from handmade zine to digital zines. Is your audience in the zine scene or on the web? Do you have easier access to handmade art supplies or would you rather use a software to create collages? In this talk we will discuss and answer some of these questions.
