'Nearly Healthy' - a zine that has changed my life.

I'm always a little unsure what to do when I find a new zine that I really love, especially when the zine is a per-zine and the "per" is pretty damn personal. Is it enough to just curl up under the blankets and devour the zine alone? Should I contact the zinemaker and tell them what their zine means to me? Or should I shout from the rooftops that something amazing has just been created?

Well today I am going to shout from the rooftops. I just read a zine calld 'Nearly Healthy' and it has honestly changed my life. The zine was made by Emma D in Sydney, Australia, the same Emma D who runs the zine distro Take Care. For me this zine is a masterpiece. It is difficult, heartbreaking, beautiful, wonderful, personal, revealing, at times hopeful and at times bleak. This is a really substantial, serious and important work of art. The zine deals with life and death and I want to publicly thank the zinemaker here for sharing her thoughts. I think this zine has made the world a better place, it has certainly made my world a better place.

'Nearly Healthy' is available from a zine distro in Sydney, Australia called Take Care, (takecarezines.org).
