Reviewed by Eric LydenNice, small, low key personal zine about Dan's high school days. Mostly about those feelings of being lost, alienated and meeting and breaking up with his first girlfriend. He also writes about how writing (more specifically, poetry) saved him. Also included are a couple of the poems he wrote in high school (which are about as bad as you'd expect from high school poetry) and an article entitled "Schools are Factories, Schools are Jails" which is pretty self-explanatory. I didn't think it was great, but it was good.
