When Language Runs Dry #1 reviewed in Zine World #28

when language runs dry: a zine for people with chronic pain and their allies:  A variety of contributors share their own or their loved ones’ chronic pain stories, offering a window into the issues chronic pain sufferers face such as trouble with self-identity, depression, frustration from loved ones and friends, and doctors ignoring a sufferer’s truth about his/her own body. Moving and heartfelt, this zine helps build a bridge of understanding and empathy between sufferers and non-sufferers. Color cover with illustrations throughout.
