zine, #4, $5, Emily Pohl-Weary and Paolo Poletto (editors), 18 Virtue St., Toronto, ON, M6R 1C2 There’s a ton of quality stuff in this 88 page lit-zine. As always, the theme is wacked out, and some of the contributors try too hard to work in aliens and hospitals. But there’s plenty of solid writing here that doesn’t feel like it was thought up just, well, because. Kerri Huffman gives us a strong, if somewhat familiar, teen abortion story. In fact, there are several pregnancy mentions in this zine, I guess playing on the theory that pregnancy is like having an alien thing inside you and usually involves a trip to the hospital. Jeff Otaku tells us about a visit to Japan that goes all wrong. Comics by Marc Ngui and a pretty impressive poster/drawing/chart thingie called Ravings of a Woman Not On Prozac round out this very entertaining and worthwhile publication. (Hal Niedzviecki)
