Cursive Bomb #5
by Hazel Pine
Don't let the word literary scare you off. Cursive Bomb #5 is a collection of three short stories by Hazel Pine that carry your full attention. It's got a traditional perzine feel and layout, so you don't really notice they're vignettes until your through. The main piece is about babysitting for a wealthy family with a grand mansion, who you realize will never understand the class divide between you. The other two are about a mental health workshop and its resulting closeness, and the self-mutilation of bored young girls trying to understand their girlness.

“What a perfect little zine. I found the images to be lovely as well as the writing. Cursive Bomb reminds me of Ration, its tidy use of words, telling stories that are personal, but also completely relatable. I really admire that level of eloquence, ya know? Like not flaunting gratuitous details or yammering.”
