Coming from a town where coffee shop parking lots act as hallowed ground for the worshipped muscle-power of Mustangs and Firebirds, I didn’t find it hard to enjoy Kiss Machine 5: Cars and Religion. Kiss Machine is the spawn of Emily Pohl-Weary and Paola Poletto, who focus the current issue on cars and religion. These two themes march side-by-side through the issue; covering poetry, prose, articles, art and photography on the way. The shining point is definitely the prose and art/photography. “Plot” by Tim Conley particularly stands out, where a simple story about a person in a room turns into a fictional article about the different paths the story could take, and which would be the most popular. Another piece by Jay Dolmage begins with the simple outline of the history of the car, and seamlessly grows into a story about the great battles between animal and machine. At 87 pages, Kiss Machine is filled with great pieces of art and fiction. I liked the constant play between cars and religion with the pieces, and especially how we’re guided along each page with quotes like “What is your simple religion?” followed on the next page by “Electronic Climate Control.” Pohl-Weary and Poletto construct a great zine made up of various artistic and written pieces grouped by the divinity of the internal combustion engine.
