I once published a book called This I Believe. In 2017, I decided to pull it from the market and revise it. Instead of re-releasing it as a second edition, I turned it into my perzine, Fragments.
Fragments is where I share my stories, thoughts, and feelings about life—often random, sometimes unconventional, and occasionally controversial. It’s a space where I can be completely honest and emotional, opening up in ways that feel too raw to say out loud. This is where I let the music play louder, where I share my dreams, fears, and joys. It’s where I tell the truth about what’s on my heart—the good, the painful, and everything in between. It’s where I write about love, hope, sorrows, rants, poetry, and the simple pleasures of life. It’s where I figure things out, document memories, and find healing.
Creating zines is one of the ways I channel my creativity. It’s a space away from the everyday noise, where I can play with metaphors and ideas, creating something honest and meaningful. It’s my way of connecting—maybe even on a deeper, almost unspoken level—with anyone who feels drawn to it. Through Fragments, I hope to inspire you to embrace your own freedom and the joy that comes from expressing yourself authentically.
“Fragments is a ½ fold black and white text-only (except the covers) perzine about a number of different life thoughts and subjects. Right from the get go, Fragments gives you a look into their life and thoughts with a writing voice that is unflinching and confident. I was just as fascinated by their writing voice as I was by what had been written. The intensity I thought may have been reserved for the intro ended up carrying all the way through. I was taken in by this interesting combination of strength of conviction and thought alongside admitting they are still learning and growing. From their annoyance about empty words, to creativity, to parenting, Fragments covers a lot of subjects big and small in mostly short sections. I had to smile as I increasingly got the feeling that Fragments likes documentaries – even sharing notes on one of them in one section.
I get the impression that Fragments is someone who doesn’t just think that people can be and do better – they know it. There are no illusions about what people often are, and yet there is this impression of realistic optimism about the potential of people – including Fragments. I must confess that there is a section of the zine that I wasn’t able to read because of my own stuff, but I admire the bravery in being able to share what one has been through. Fragments Issue 5 was an intense (in many ways), interesting zine about many different life moments. If you want to check out a perzine by someone with a strong writing voice and don’t mind the content warnings, definitely check out this zine.
PS. Fragments also offers free handwriting analysis, which sounds really cool to me.”
