Hazel1 editions

First-time body removal technician Hazel shares her experiences retrieving corpses. She explains the intricacies of the job, and the many steps of identification and preservation that take place before a funeral. Despite the grief that often accompanies her work, Hazel enjoys her job, and feels "in her element" while performing it. She wonders about topics related to death work, such as the places a ghost might haunt, or how the people whose bodies she collects might have died; she welcomes death, and the mysteries it encompasses. She ends with an excerpt from Mahalia Jackson's song, "Trouble of the World." Each page of this black and white zine contains text and printed images.
