HOBNAIL REVIEW
(£3/$6.00 from Hobnail Press / PO Box 44122 / London, SW6 7XJ / ENGLAND)
Born out of the ashes of the late
Dragonsphere, this is a new resource for zine reviews and listings. There's a pretty heavy emphasis on poetry and social struggle in this first issue, but other other expected categories are here, more or less. My favorite part of this issue is an article by Steve Sneyd about the headaches caused by opening submissions packets. Along with the humor are some common-sense tips for submitting work to editors. Also included: a handful of poems, a look at Johnathon Clfford (one-man campaigner for honesty among the UK's vanity presses), a quick overview of the football fanzine scene, a bit of news, a page of art by Claudio Parentela and a chat with Revolutions Per Minute's Mark Metcalf. It appears that some of the non-review/listing content is reprinted from items listed in the issue. Look for the next issue in February.
