Schatzi

By Courtney Stanton

Schatzi tells a story through poems of falling into—and back out of—love. This is a 24-page digital edition of the zine that includes all 20 original poems. The digital copy of Schatzi that you receive is entirely fungible and is in essence identical to the one I created; this is the beauty inherent to the medium of digital art.

a laugh over your shoulder

walking through a chain of
