4 Zines + Bonus Calendar

Our best deal ever.

For the sacred price of $120, you will recieve all four of Melanie's 2024 zines, and a wall calander from August 2025 to August 2026

Each zine is meticulously hand-crafted and researched. They are art pieces, collectable items, worth their salt, extraordinarily rugged, delicious, etc.

The zines of 2024 include:

SPRING - "Do Me Justice: The Mary Wallopers, Arena and a History of Tin Pan Alley's Racist Sheet Music". Examines Irish American and Black American caricature in music and the lasting effects of this printed material.

SUMMER - Happy Within: An Irish American Songbook - Songbook collection culled from Melanie's life, from Library of Congress Field Recordings, and wherever else I can find songs that embody the American Irish music practice.

AUTUMN - Papyrus and Irish Men. This zine examines the mystique of Irish American rogue dudes, in media, film, tv, real life, etc. It connects Irish American maleness to Papyrus, the notorious typeface

WINTER - "How Brigid Made The Fire: Unverified Personal Gnosis of How Brigid Came to Run My Life". Melanie writes the account of how Brigid, ancient goddess/force/catholic saint/mysterious being from Ireland came to run her life as an American in Brooklyn, New York.
