This Way To The Garden

An 18-page art zine of poems and drawings about small joys, unlearning the bullshit, and celebrating yourself as you are.

I made This Way To The Garden in Carolyn Yoo’s Zine Lab, pairing poems I’d written with drawings from my sketchbook. It was my first time making a zine, and I gave myself permission to follow what felt joyful. Enjoy the full zine below.
