Bri Zine
Bri Zine is a zinester, musician and poet from Kent, Ohio. Bri Zine is an alias, and not the title of a zine.
She was first introduced to zines in 1999 after finding the zine "Positive Youth" in her father's room after he passed away, and soon after read the book "Zine Scene" by Francesca Lia Block and Hilary Carlip. She began publishing her own zines in 2000 and has made 25 zines to date.
She has been in four bands- So Ricki, This City's Silence, Ragdoll Radio, and her current band, Some Sort of Mistress. She attended an arts high school for creative writing and photography, and is currently in her third year of college as an English major and Creative Writing minor. She writes poetry on a regular basis and plans to become a poetry professor, with hopes of infusing her work with zines into her courses.
