Poor Lass no. 8, Identity (2018) edited by Seleena and Em
Poor Lass was created to fill a huge gap in the contemporary zine community – the dearth of working-class voices in what was becoming an increasingly middle- class space. Zines had also increasingly begun to move away from the “everybody can do it” ethos to a slight privileging of art school received making skills. When Poor Lass appeared, with its themed issues containing a patchwork of voices, it felt like a huge sense of relief, a community within a community. This is the final issue, which concerns “identity”, and has the added bonus of a great cover of a Poly Styrene textile made by Seleena.
