Our zine/chapbook collection is dedicated to small works of poetry and fiction. Chapbooks are small paperback booklets, typically containing poems or fiction. Zines are noncommercial publications of a smaller size. These items are only available for checkout at the Brewster Ladies’ Library, so we hope you will swing by and have a look.
Here are some example works in the collection:
- A Bead of Amber on Her Tongue by Jennifer Pullen
- The Blood Trail by Jan Stinchcomb
- Contraband Paradise by Susan L. Leary
- The Taste of the Sun by Kim & Léa Roger Abi Zeid Daou
- Look at all the Hurts of These Newly-Broken Lives and the Bittersweet, Sweet, and Bitter Loves by Exodus Oktavia Brownlow
- The Jolt: Twenty-One Love Poems in Homage to Adrienne Rich by Julie Weiss
- The Future of the Impossible: The Physics and Ethics of Time Travel by Dannelle Shugart
- The Missing Girl by Jacqueline Doyle
We also have chapbooks (and regular books) created by former local poets of the month and display case artists including: Albert Groom, Chuck Mandansky, John Bonanni, Amanda Bolduc, Carol Marcy, and more.
