Zine design for a poem - A Wife Has A Cow; A Love Story. The basic structure of this poem is repetition. It gives people to feel dizzy and confused like stuck in the maze especially to non-native English speakers like myself.

Using the structure of maze with type, and put repetition of wall - represents repetition of poem.
