EZ. P. Zine, Vol. 4 is the last in the series from Pyre Publishing. The poems inside focus on the theme “Resolve,” the perseverance to push through...to come out in a better place on the other side, dodging the figurative bullets as much as possible along the way. As with the last three issues, there is a wide variety of material following the subject. I enjoyed the way that many of the pieces were open to interpretation, but those most personal were the ones that hit home with me. My favorites
Foreword: This is it! We’ve finally reached the conclusion to Pyre’s first zine exposition— Resolve. After a year’s worth of quarterly releases, I couldn’t be happier with the results and want to start off by thanking all the contributors; it’s been a damn good run and it wouldn’t have gone far without you!That being said, it all would have been for nothing without our readers. Thank you, lovers of indie poetry and dabblers of DIY zines, for your support! Keep an eye out for our “Year-in-Review”...
The fourth release of EZ PZINE has a wide selection of authors and styles. There is a poem (or more) in here to please everyone. It is a pleasure seeing familiar names and discovering new ones. My favorites pieces in this issue are: Rabbit Makes His Living by Jeff Bagato, Untitled by Rodney Gardner, Going Home by India LaPlace, and Summer of The Frogs by A. Lynn Blumer. I look forward to the release of this zine's Year-in-Review, to be published next year.
Great poems in this collection, I really enjoyed it. Favorites were ‘Being’ by Alicia Brunskill and ‘Going Home’ by India LaPlace. Stellar artwork.
What can I say that I haven't said before? I have enjoyed every issue so far and this one is no different. So many varied and inspirational voices, some of which I have the privilege of knowing in real life. Great job guys!
Top notch stuff. :)
As has become their standard, Pyre succeeds in pulling together a diverse selection of both local and global authors in this issue, setting the theme without dictating the tone. The result is a strong and at times quite surprising collection of poetry, leaving readers with much to chew over. Get it (and others) from Pyre Publishing.
The first year of zines has completed and they have been a great collection, loads of new poets for this reader to check out.The theme of this book seems to be nature, both Mother and human nature mixed between the pages.Highlights in this collection were:Wonder woman by Omari Rouse a fantastic short piece of poetry, it goes off in an unexpected direction, had to re-read to make sure my mind hadn't twisted things.Two epic poems by Bob Polzin had to be read a few times, crammed full of great line...
Another incredible issue - one I was very proud to be included in. Can't wait to see what Pyre does next. Get yourself a copy or a free download at pyrepublishing.com/merch.
Poems collected under the theme of resolve. Many tinged with quiet longings and despondencies, of fractured wants and the dare of expectation. Some flashes of remorse and regrets, deep fires and lucid melancholy. A roll call of superficially disparate reflective pieces, frequently finding a common thread of pensiveness and reassessment. An intriguing and interesting assortment, giving an unexpected take on the chosen theme.
