Life Harvester is a bimonthly print newsletter in which I discuss items, objects, people, places, experiences, emotions, memories, dreams, meals, sex, movies, books, art etc. Mild cultural criticism from an out of practice writer trying to get back in the habit. News, reviews, and advice from a shmuck. Individual print subscriptions (and more!) are available through my patreon or set up a recurring payment at the sliding scale button below.

Emails are free, or you can read the archive.

Subscription costs are at your discretion, though if you are outside the US, please select the $3 option or higher, and if you’re an institution, the art book collector who offered me $700 for my pizza fanzines, or any other rich person, go ahead and pay $5, you can afford it.

You can send in your book/record/whatever for review but I’m not making any promises:
Life Harvester / P.O. Box 864089 / Queens, NY 11385
