A handmade zine by Henrietta Mitchell, dated 2023, filled with poetic musings on summer. It reflects on the season's sensory experiences, from sand and sea to the warmth of the sun, and closes with an invitation to hold onto summer's joy as the days grow shorter.
Summer Zine is a personal, self-published zine by Henrietta Mitchell, created in 2023. It is a short, poetic celebration of the summer season, written for anyone who loves the warmth, light, and freedom of the sunniest months.
The zine opens with a dedication to sun-kissed days and uses the rhythm of the tides as a metaphor for life's cycles. It encourages readers to embrace change and find nourishment in nature, comparing the summer sky to an endless blue canvas.
Later pages offer sensory snapshots of summer, such as fine grains of sand on toes and salty air in the lungs. The text reflects on the lazy, heavy air of the season and asks why summer feels so special, before describing it as a time of liberation and rediscovery.
The zine concludes with an invitation to live life in full bloom and a final note about not letting the joy drain as summer wanes. It is a brief, lyrical work focused on emotion and atmosphere rather than practical advice or information.
