Full Description
Here, within these collected zines, you'll find enough spotted ponies to fill at least three large stables to the brim. Although, of course, you wouldn't have much luck coaxing them in there. No, instead, it's likely because of the free rein they've been given, because they've been cut loose, that so many spotted ponies seem to have chosen these poems as their breeding ground. We've never offered them much scrutiny; never subjected them to any polishing or meticulous adjustments. Each of our spotted ponies simply exists in its natural state, as a product of our own wild abandon.
