Title: Every Day I Wake Up And Author: Anonymous Year: 2025 Published by: Please hold. Media: Zine (4.25” length by 5.5” height, staple bound)

A Please hold. creation (PH 0011)

About: An exercise in time and text, each zine’s page is crisp with visceral letters and emotion. The writing reads like a candid diary entry, the sort of thing that piques curiosity but rarely satisfies it.

The best part is: This zine is short and sweet and perfect for reading to someone.

Creator’s note: None submitted.

Title: tristellation Author: no author Year: 2023 Published by: Please hold. Media: Zine (8.5” length by 5.5” height, staple bound)

A Please hold. creation (PH 0005)

About: Crisscrossing time, space, and authors, tristellation collects anonymous poems to explore what shape they make together. Connections, seasons, and rhythmic dances to the mundane fill the pages in what becomes a pinhole camera view of a life. The one thing these poems have in common? They were all written for and sent to someone.

The best part is: The poems are numbered, but certainly not in order.

Creator’s note: Picking and choosing what to show as a single exhibit always feels like a great weight and great fun simultaneously; this project was no different.
