Holy cats! Time got ahead of me, and I did not post about the fabulous zine-ness that is the June edition of Corridor volume 40. So, FOURTY volumes of zine! All zine, all the time. Pumping out poetry and art for free for strangers to find and discover—super wow! July’s edition is printing now. If you found the June edition, I hope you had a fun conversation with it.
