Teeny's Zineys!
On Waking & Walking...
This booklet is for anyone interested in experimental prose/poetry, wordplay, philosophy, psychogeography, walking, psychoanalysis, and dreams, amongst other themes. The text steps in and out of wakefulness via the movement of walking. It is both a play on words and an expression of the author’s interests as both a psychogeographer and an academic who studies psychoanalytic theory. The texts included here range from poems that reflect dream-like states, to rhythmic verses that imitate the act of walking itself. The prose texts involve imaginary interviews with people both real, dead, and fictional, and experiential texts on actual walks. Some of the contributions also include experimental forms that are coextensive with the contents of the text themselves.
Wa(l)king through the sixteen stations in T Richardson's newest zine is a desire-path pilgrimage of becoming-self, becoming-word, becoming-footfall, becoming-synapse, an uncanny encounter with "something that tugs and twists inside." Sixteen stepz across thresholds & wormholes of concrete poetry, mindfall mazes of mythic conversation, I/eye as iteration, creativity as cloud-edge congealment, movement as mantra, suturing a self stitched back through the science of ghosts to deathfugue & dreams & purloined theorylines even as the wa(l)king mind evaporates like breath forward!, forward!, out&into the pink significations of the mall. Highly recommended!

Hunstanton: Wish You Were Here!
I know this is a cliché, but this booklet is a kind of love letter to Hunstanton: one that is deeply influenced by both my childhood (being a progeny of King’s Lynn) and the nostalgia of my late teens and early twenties, when me and my peer group used to socialise here. This is way before Hunstanton became the ‘posh’ seaside town it now is. This text is both a celebration and lament. How can it be both, you may well ask. I left King’s Lynn, for London, in 1987 and I returned to Hunstanton in 2022 due to an unexpected change in my personal circumstances. This is the story of that journey: from the standpoint of a person whose perspective has changed. Moreover, also the space that is being explored has changed…
