Local publishing took a significant leap forward this fall when the first issue of Highway 152 Zine appeared in local venues. The name is eloquent in its description, a small run magazine of the the NM-152 community. Editor Jessica Luther notes that "When creating this zine, my goal was to share some of the voices in our community and to find joy in our shared love of the foothills of the Black Range. I want to spotlight the beauty of relationships and the resilience of our rural lives, to share the personal and intimate stories that highlight who we are and how we live and love here, and to help connect us with one another and to share what this place means to the outside world."
Highway 152 Zine is available in print only and is free of charge. The initial distribution was available at the Black Range Museum, Rio Abajo Rio, the General Store Cafe, and Black Cat Books. The Zine does not include ads and does not claim copyright of the material which it publishes. The initial printing was sponsored by Jessica and Eric Luther. If you would like to sponsor the printing of the next, or some future issue, please contact Jessica Luther at jessica.d.griffin@gmail.com.
