Lacuna: Indie Punk Zine

lacuna was a newly rising zine in 2019. Wikipedia defines a zine (short for magazine) as a "small circulation self-published work of original or appropriated texts and images." Lacuna which means "blank space" "missing portion" "gap," stems from the belief that Millennials born between the years 1996 and 1999 do not exactly fit into the ideas of the older Millennials and early Gen Z. 

In 2020, lacuna took a hiatus to give its editors time to deal with the realities of the pandemic. Now, in 2024, we are relaunching our independent punk zine. Now as a re-established zine, we have a mission to not only publish the weirdest shit we can find but also a mission to amplify queer content.

lacuna publishes art, poetry, fiction, prose, political commentary, lifestyle blogs, entertainment reviews, and more. Our mission is to defy traditional literary arts magazine publishing by grounding our practices in radical politics of anti-establishment and free expression. lacuna also hosts an abolitionist book club, revisions services for writers, and publishes print copies of our zine. lacuna has rolling submissions for its online content, but during the year, our editorial team prepares for our annual print edition of lacuna.
