Cipher (#2)
With Cipher #2, Chris has outdone herself. This issue is just brimming with thoughtful personal essays (on pianos, on the prom, on ballet, on being a student outside the bounds of “traditional” student-hood) and also features poetry and recipes. All contained in a quarter-sized zine with simply gorgeous layout. The voice here is so strong and assured, and the essays which make up the bulk of the content represent a kind of clarity of thought that’s engaging and immensely readable. The personal-crit-zine style that Cipher #1 established continues here in a lovely, lively way. (Jess)
