second son

second son is a blackout poetry zine about being the spare to the heir, with words lovingly plucked from the scottish play itself. rip donalbain, we hardly knew ye.

this zine was made for Sunday Zine Club #28! it's been a long while since i've done blackout poetry, but i got this idea while thinking about being 'the spare' and i just had to give it a go :)

many thanks to the Folger Shakespeare Library for having the entire text of the scottish play up for viewing, and Jeremy Oduber for the HTML5 Reader!
