Sick: A Compilation Zine on Physical Illness

Ben Holtzman (Editor)
Edition: pb
ISBN: 9781934620489
Publisher: Microcosm
Release Date: 2009-07-14
ITEM OVERVIEW
Sick collects peoples' experiences with illness to help establish a collective voice of those impacted within radical/left/DIY communities. The zine (which is actually bound as a paperback book) is meant to be a resource for those who are living with illness as well as those who have not directly experienced it themselves. Contributors discuss personal experiences as well as topics such as receiving support, providing support, and being an informed patient. These writings are meant to increase understandings of illness and further discussion as well as action towards building communities of care. Includes a resource list for further reading and support.
