Nekusis

“I’m tired of people saying, ‘Wait till you get to the real world.’ I’m there can’t you see???” says TrollE in the pages of this new zine. Nekusis is a compilation of poetry, prose, art, and rants written by teenagers, and for teenagers who feel that their ideas, feelings, and opinions aren’t always represented in the world around them. The work covers a variety of topics such as love, anarchy, parents, being young, being outcast, desire, and change. In her self-described rant, Emily Armstrong declares “We know you think we’re ‘godless heathens’ (actual quote) who worship Satan, but I gotta tell ya, it’s sure as fuck better than your religion which praises money or ‘Gawd’, which usually means money.” Despite the fact that it’s been a while since I was a teenager myself, I found that I could identify with some of this writing, and anyone else who still feels misrepresented and misunderstood from time to time will too. The content in this zine ranged from angry, to humorous — Ravager provides some witty advice on how to stay healthy, which includes eating, not dying, and not becoming a character in a horror movie —- and from depressing, to optimistic — Emily Borkowski writes “we are the people, the power and the change/ we are the hope for a better day.” (Dale Duncan)
