More than 80 artists, writers and editors will bring their homemade publications to the second annual Brooklyn Zine Fest, the biggest such expo in the five boroughs. Organizers Matt Carman and Kseniya Yarosh, editors of I Love Bad Movies, curated the lineup of DIY publications, which range from diary-style essay anthologies to abstract collage collections. Those examples barely scratch the surface of the offerings at this year’s event, which will also feature an outdoor pop-up library and performative reading series Brain Frame. We’ve highlighted some pocket-sized pamphlets worth adding to your bookshelf.
