When Language Runs Dry: An Anthology for People with Chronic Pain and Their Allies<br />
<br />
Originally a series of zines, now thoughtfully reorganized and collected into book format, <i>When Language Runs Dry</i> is a resource for anyone impacted by chronic pain. Through essays, comics, poetry, and interviews <i>When Language Runs Dry</i> seeks to illuminate the pain experience from the inside with personal stories and meaningful dialogue shared in hope of bringing new understanding and connection to those navigating the terrain of chronic pain or traveling the path with a friend or loved one.<br />

The collection will include the first 4 issues of the zine, plus new material. The book includes essays, poetry and comics on identity, invisibility, capitalism, mental health, care-giving, support, self-care and hopefulness as they relate to the experience of chronic pain. </span><br />
<br style="font-family: ProximaNova, 'Helvetica Neue', helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "proximanova" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">We are currently looking for proposals for cover art for the book. Proposals should include the following: </span><br />
<br style="font-family: ProximaNova, 'Helvetica Neue', helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "proximanova" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">1) A short description of how your idea reflects chronic pain and how your proposed visual articulates the link between chronic pain and identity, invisibility, mental health, support, self-care or subjects not listed.</span><br />
<br style="font-family: ProximaNova, 'Helvetica Neue', helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "proximanova" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">2) A rough sketch at 6x9 of a concept for the front cover (place holders for text as the title font has been previously selected). </span><br />

These are just a few ideas based on some common themes I have picked up when speaking to others. Any other ideas/themes are more than welcome. I recognize that this type of health issue has a different meaning and results in a different experience for everyone, so there is really no right or wrong way to contribute to this project.</span><br />

<span style="color: #141823; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 12px;">If you would like to be involved please email me at</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 12px;"> </span><a href="mailto:nicole.shaw3@gmail.com" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">nicole.shaw3@gmail.com</a><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 12px;">.

<span style="font-family: inherit;">According to data from the 2010 National Health Interview Survey, at least 19% of people in the United States suffer from chronic pain. Yet, despite this high incidence, this illness is frequently under-explored and misunderstood. Because it is an invisible condition, pain often goes without treatment or validation. Further, dominant white western patriarchal attitudes deny the complexity of chronic pain, including its connection to trauma and emotional health, identity, social institutions, attitudes towards disability, history and many other factors. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Since 2008, <i>When Language Runs Dry: a Zine for People with Chronic Pain and Their Allies</i> has attempted to fill in some of the gaps in our understanding of chronic pain. Throughout our first four issues, contributors explored this highly personal and deeply political subject through poetry, comics, essay and art. Now, in 2015, we are excited to be seeking submissions for a 5<sup>th</sup> issue of <i>WLRD</i>. Our plan is that this issue will be new material for an anthology that will include the first four issues.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(45, 45, 45); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #2d2d2d;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We want to hear your perspective on chronic pain. We are looking for anyone interested in submitting writing or easy-to-reproduce visual art/comics on the subject and experience of chronic pain.</span></div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(45, 45, 45); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; color: #2d2d2d;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We are not as interested in pain management (drugs, therapies, treatments) as in the social and emotional aspects of living with chronic pain. We want to hear about the way persistent pain impacts people’s lives, relationships, and the way that they inhabit their bodies and communities. How has the pain experience informed how you identify yourself, how you feel about your body, and how you ask for help? This zine is about support, sharing, and respecting what we’ve been through with pain. Below are some ideas we’ve brainstormed for pieces… anyone want to run with any of these topics?</span></div>

We had a blast, as always, at the 2013 Portland Zine Symposium! Big thanks to the organizers for all of their hard work, and to everyone who came by our table and chatted or picked up When Language Runs Dry. We sold and traded a bunch of zines, got the word out that we are still looking for submissions for issue #5, and - as a most pleasant surprise - got to spend the weekend sitting next to our good friend <a href="http://killerfemme.com/" target="_blank">Eleanor</a> who wrote the book <a href="http://growdiy.com/" target="_blank">Grow</a> and the beautiful zine Indulgence. <br />
