Stuck in the Middle - Issue 3 - The Unexpected

Publisher: Stuck in the Middle (2020)

As the saying goes, sometimes life throws you curveballs. The COVID-19 pandemic was undoubtedly one of the biggest curveballs to hit us in 2020. For this issue, we not only wanted to hear from our contributors about things that happened this year, but also about times throughout their lives when things went off-script. New jobs, surprise visitors, finding an extra $20 in their pockets; unexpected changes, both big and small. This issue is about the spontaneous moments that left a lasting impression.

Stuck in the Middle is a collaborative zine made by young adults, ages 18-35, who live in the Midwest or formerly lived here. This 32-page issue comes in several shades of green! It is printed in black & white and includes a collection of writing, art and photography. We publish three zines per year that touch on broad themes relating to youth, identity, growth and life in the Midwest.
