March 2010

The second issue of Dear Jaguar continues the irreverent voice and cut-and-paste visual style of its predecessor. But this one has a theme, nightmares.

She also includes a series of photo booth style pictures as well as lists and recommended mix tape playlists.

Dear Jaguar No. 1

Catalog Number: 
Zine, Dear Jaguar No. 1
Date: 
August(?) 2000s (?)
Issue: 
1
Abstract: 
Dear Jaguar is a personal zine created and written by Vicky Limbo, a young woman attending college in Chicago. It contains a variety of photo illustrations, collage work and snippety anecdotes, mostly focusing on the author's life experiences. Making the zine seems to be a sort of personal exercise for her, one that marks an advent into a new sort of creativity and personal attitude.
Language: 
English
Notes: 
The author says "I am making this the day before my junior year in college" and makes great mention of summer. By the looks/sounds of it, this zine seems to have been produced in the late aughts.

Guildworks: Writings by the West Side Writers Guild

Catalog Number: 
Book, Boone, Mark A.
Date: 
1996
Abstract: 
"In Guildworks you will hear voices as individual and powerful as those you will find in any urban collection of poetry and prose. They are representative of a people who live in a part of Chicago that refuses to be judged by what it lacks but, rather, by what it contributes to the life of a city that well knows how it feels to be perceived as a cultural stepchild. All labels aside, we are proud to introduce to a larger audience the best of the West Side Writers Guild."

The Best of Sydney J. Harris

Catalog Number: 
book, Harris
Date: 
1975
Abstract: 
A collection of Sydney Harris's syndicated newspaper column "Strictly Personal," from the Chicago Daily News & Chicago Sun-Times, chosen from 30 years of writing. Columns are short and range from advice to politics. The back cover quotes Studs Terkel in the Chicago Sun-Times, saying, "Fortunately for our sense of balance, Sydney J. Harris is around, reminding us of human possibilities not yet tapped . . . Pick up this book. It's good for out-loud reading, and therapeutic at the same time." Harris went to high school with Saul Bellow, possibly at Tuley High School, where Saul Bellow is documented as having graduated from; the building is now Tuley Middle School, and the high school was moved to Clemente.
