Title: Shadow Song
Description: This comic zine takes the name of a song by the Mountain Goats that creator Lilith Joyce Cooper was listening to when walking past a closed hospital. Lilith writes that the comic is centered around loss and ownership and dreamscape spaces. It also interrogates the idea of hospitals as liminal spaces, a place you once lived and cannot return to. Shadow Song depicts a walk-through of the hospital grounds alongside song lyrics and ends in a letter from their hospital dorm partner Helen. -- Nayla Delgado
