Zine featuring poetry and artwork by people incarcerated in various detention facilities throughout the State of Illinois.

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.
