It’s a beautiful book with great photography and stories. Check the book out at Georgetown Press.

About the Event
Join us at Mojomala for a deep dive into the history of punk fanzines and what it takes to make them. Mojomala is hosting a discussion on zinemaking and the history of punk fanzines.
Moderated by Chris L. Terry (co-editor of Black Punk Now, author of Black Card), the panel will consist of John R. Davis, author of the new book, Keep Your Ear to the Ground: A History of Punk Fanzines in Washington, D.C., Willona Sloan (writer and Scorpion zine editor in the late 1990s/early 2000s), and Mark Robinson (member of Unrest, founder of Teen Beat Records, editor of The Straight Line zine in the 1980s). Mark will also perform a musical set following the discussion!
