Second Birth: a birth story -- Print Zine

$12.00

Second Birth: A Birth Story is an essay zine by Amy Bornman. The 28-page illustrated zine is printed and hand-assembled in Amy’s home studio. The essay recounts the birth of Amy’s second son in detail, and gently examines tender themes of matrescence, change, fear, power, and joy.

“Reminding myself to be thoughtless, notionless, maybe even hopeless. Hope for nothing except a healthy baby and intact self. Hope for nothing except pure change.”

Also available as a digital download! (Here!)

Zines are handmade. Expect a lead time of up to two weeks before your order ships (Amy is still postpartum!). Zines are sent using USPS First Class Mail and are not trackable. If three weeks have gone by and your order has not arrived, please get in touch!

Shipping is $1 per zine to US addresses, and $2 per zine internationally.
