Instead of publishing one big issue of Reckless Chants in 2024, I'm going to publish multiple mini-zines. Each of them will be a micro-issue of Reckless Chants, which will add up to one 'full' issue, but which can be read in any order. (Think of it as the zine version of what Anne Carson did with her collection 'Float.') Each month, I will publish anywhere from 1-3 mini zines. They will all be 1/4 letter size, and will range in length from 4-16 pages. Many of them will be (prose) perzines, but there will also be some poetry zines, a little fiction, and maybe even some (gasp!) art zines thrown into the mix. For some of them, I'm going to experiment with non-traditional binding/cover materials; some will come with fun extras like stickers or pins. To give you examples of what you might find: Volume 1 was prose poem which riffed on associations with 'blue' (the color and the word). Volume 2 (which came with a fabric cover you can turn into a patch!) was about Punk Month (a silly thing I made up in January 2009). Volume 3 was a remembrance of an old friend and a favorite band. Volume 4 included a couple short excerpts from my novel-in-progress. Volume 5 is a love letter to/deep dive into the 2023 film "Poor Things." And here's how the subscriptions will work: For $7, you get that month's or the next month's zine(s), depending on when you order. I'll be sending out the zine(s) for each month the last week of the month, so, if you order, say, in March, you'll either get March's zine(s) or April's zine(s), depending on if you order before or after the March zine(s) were sent out. For $40, you get six months of zines, and for $78, you get the whole dang year. There is no point in the year when it's too late to sign up for either six or twelve months. For the six month tier, you can specify how many future issues you want and how many previous issues you want. For example: say you order in early July. You could then choose to receive all the upcoming zines, July-December. Or, you could specify that you'd like only the issues that have already been released, and I'd send you every zine made from January-June. Or, you could combine the two, and get the zines made from April-June as well as the upcoming July-September zines. And for the twelve-month tier, no matter when you sign up, you get all previous and all upcoming issues. This page will be updated occasionally to feature photographs of more recent minis; more frequent updates will be posted on my Ko-fi blog. I'm really stoked about this project, and I hope you'll consider coming on this journey with me!
