Description

Press release from the Los Angeles Public Library: Angi Brzycki September 29, 2021 Suemi Guerra is an educator and zinemaker. She is also the author of the fictional zine, Suicidal Goldfish. She is currently working on the fiction zine Las Fakes. Suemi has participated in many zine festivals such as the Los Angeles Zine Fest, Echo Park Rising, Long Beach Zine Fest, OC Zine Fest, and Latino Comics Expo. She's also been invited to be part of zine workshops throughout Los Angeles. I got interested in zines when I attended the first L.A. Zine Fest and I love the process of making each zine, like it is specially made for that one person you are sending it to. My zines are an eclectic type of collection because my fiction zine Suicidal Goldfish is a coming-of-age story and I am currently working on Las Fakes, it is a fun girl band adventure. I also have poetry zines that are from my own personal journal entries about boy crushes and dancing. I have so many favorites and it was so hard to narrow it down to five: Elise Bernal Zines, You Got This: Meditations on Finding Balance, and Here You Are Karen Joyce Collaboration Zine, Stage Fright: How To Deal with Performance Anxiety Emily Hillburg Zine, Dirty Pillowz Camille Kolo Gavotte Tori Holder Comix Zines, Small Universes.
