Spoon Rest is a short poem about the physical toll of invisible struggles and how much needed energy (spoons) can disappear quickly when it's already in such limited supply. 

Inspired by and created for the Disabled Creators Jamboree

For those unfamiliar: "Spoon theory is a metaphor describing the amount of physical or mental energy that a person has available for daily activities and tasks, and how it can become limited."

How Do I Fold It Though?

This video is a great example of how to fold an 8-page zine!
