Description: This zine is the fourth issue of the literary zine A Beautiful Final Tribute. Lessons in Taxidermy tells the story of the HipMama editor and childhood cancer survivor as she and her partner traverse the hallways of La Specola, a zoological museum in Italy. Sprinkled between the musings on children and perseverance, are images and descriptions of novelty taxidermy (the process of posing animals in unrealistic positions for artistic effect). The zine has a yellow cardstock cover and is bound with staples.
