Home is a single-sheet poetry zine written, illustrated, and digitally printed at Papaya Press in the fall of 2024.

Readers follow the text of the poem through the maze to an uncertain future. The background, which was traditionally collage and then scanned and printed, is made up of abandoned dwellings, frigid natural landscapes, distorted text, and scenes of machinery and construction.

Twelve copies were produced. Each copy was hand-embellished in black ink and features red and black paper accents including a movable "door." Special thanks to Max Mallon for designing borderless printable graph paper specifically sized for an 8.5 x 11" zine (downloadable here).

Copies are available for $10 (+ shipping) and can be ordered via email at papayapress@duck.com or Instagram message @papayapressla.
