MamaPhiles #4 "Raising Hell"
118 pages, half size
$5

Thirty-one different zine-making parents write on one theme within this collaborative collection! The first Mamaphiles issue was "birth"; the second issue was "cutting the cord"; the third issue (which first opened up to fathers' voices) was "coming home". Now it's time to get out in the streets! We wanted to choose a theme that shakes things up a bit, a theme that could encourage writing about what was going on our lives as well as outward reflections on the world. "Raising Hell" was first suggested as almost a joke, but it kind of had a ring, you know? Rearing kids is hard work; it kind of is Hell, even if it's the most rewarding hell out there. And like Henry Miller wrote in Big Sur and the oranges of Hieronymus Bosch, "children are natural-born hell-raisers". Also there are connotations in this phrase of dissatisfaction, action, and willful objection. However you interpret this phrase: from rabble-rousing to toddler chasing - it's revolution in motion.
