There were 10 issues; see links on sidebar for details. Several back issues are still available. Feel free to write to peachesandbats at gmail.<br />
<br />
I hope to make PDFs available soon, and to start a new magazine once my kid is old enough to help me collate, fold, and sew.<br />

My favorite is <i>T</i>, "inspired by a particularly gorgeous red and green and very silver and shiny long-haul truck."</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-V1MCGVBEQCM/TsAiyH43UYI/AAAAAAAAAh0/3zQowWP9fKc/s400/SDC16600.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674573774993183106" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 312px; height: 400px; " /></span></div><div>The text reads: </div><div><b>is he ever </b></div><div><b>proud </b></div><div><b>of </b></div><div><b>that </b></div><div><b>he's </b></div><div><b>a </b></div><div><b>little </b></div><div><b>mural</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div>Mark Owens's <i>Through, </i>like many of his works, comes with instructions:</div><div><b>1) Collect small objects</b></div><div><b>2) Push them through the book</b></div><div><b>3) Think of this action as making a poem</b></div><div><b>4) Repeat</b></div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qYsbnvTXWQ8/TsAkwn0zUNI/AAAAAAAAAiA/w2QQ5vFymwY/s400/owens-2-a.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674575948229595346" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 294px; " /></span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[photo by Kerry Davis]</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div>And Owens and Maria José Gonzalez Arredondo's <i>Which Way In: a dream migration game (for internal landscapes) </i>instructs: </div><div><b>1) Roll the dice</b></div><div><b>2) Go to sleep</b></div><div><b>3) Dream in the places that land face up</b></div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mHqT-_7T-T4/TsAmDns4S0I/AAAAAAAAAiM/aUwsnFNQfYc/s400/owens-1-b.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674577374125509442" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 233px; height: 400px; " /></span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">[photo by Kerry Davis]</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div>Abel's own <i>Molecular Text #2: Solids </i>is the cleverest use of bubble-wrap and sharpie I've seen (and I've seen quite a few at the preschool where I work).</div><div><br /></div><div>James Yeary has taken a lime green highlighter and highlighted every word in a paperback copy of Beckett's <i>The Unnameable, </i>but left the most spaces between sentences open.</div><div><br /></div><div>Kristin Prevallet has made paper and lampshades from her old notebooks, which didn't solve her storage problem.</div><div><br /></div><div>Leo and Anna Daedalus have presented ten rocks with their English translations.
