Phantom Billstickers Cafe Reader: Bringing The Voice of New Zealand To The World (Cafe Reader - New Zealand's Literary Zine Book 4)

The Phantom Billstickers Cafe Reader is a quarterly literary ‘zine featuring short stories, poems, art and editorial by New Zealanders. The stories we publish are heartfelt glimpses into family, community, and the more colourful aspects of the creative life in New Zealand. Many of our articles and stories revolve around Kiwi music. If you are a Lord of The Rings fan, please be aware that we carefully cull all references to Middle Earth. Sex, Drugs, Rock and Roll, yes. Hobbits, no. Our contributors range from globally recognized Kiwi authors to emerging artists who deserve to be heard. You'll love every issue. It is hard yakka getting a true creative voice heard in the institutionalised, sterilised, corporate world where we now live. It is doubly hard in New Zealand where the population base is around 4.5 million people and where artists are, despite access to the Internet, still Stranded in Paradise. Phantom Billstickers Press donates a portion of the proceeds from every download to a sponsorship fund supporting the artists in New Zealand.
