"This book is fucking incredible. One of the best zines out there. Necessary in every way." -Doug Grime, MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL

"Avow is what a personal zine is supposed to be. Keith shows honesty without pretension and can go from stories about being beaten up to personal politics to an interview with Kathleen Hannah seamlessly... It's rare to read a zine that includes both lighthearted stories and personal examinations of privilege and sexism without being preachy or overbearing... It's no wonder Avow has been running for so long; reading it is like maintaining a good friendship." -Lauren Denitzio, THE MEASURE, WORRIERS

“Keith Rosson has become an increasingly visible and influential part of punk rock culture over the last five years... At different times, I have loved and hated Avow, depending on what kind of phase I’m going through. Sometimes the stories shine too bright a light on the ugliness and harsh truth around you. Other times, it’s the most down-to-earth thing you can find to relate to... This anthology represents the first sixteen issues of Avow, and is also one of the first things I show curious people who ask me about zines." -Lauren Trout, RAZORCAKE
