Currently, this zine is being revised by the author-editor and is not available.
Salvaged journals and memories tell the story of being young, transgender and homeless on the streets of Portland, Maine. Rowan shows that beauty and desperation live side by side, and sometimes hand in hand. This zine is about "the gravity of poverty, the harsh realities that homeless youth live with every day, gang violence, ethnic tensions in rundown neighborhoods, and the beautiful hearts that keep on beating strong in spite of all of it."

Rowan Maeriwillow
"Hi my name is Rowan Maeriwillow Alexander.
Im a spooky tranny girl bunny robot monster kitty.
I also go by the name Cinderhela, or Mary Morphine.
I have many permutations, many faces, though I try my best to put up an honest, united front in the face of consensus reality....
In other words, I'm not fake, just complicated.
Actually I'm so real I scare the shit out of myself.
Especially around Halloween...."
