Issue 1 of Dragon Bait contains reflections on self-image, internet dating, and September 11. It also provides a critique of the way poetry is taught in high school using W.C. Williams, "The Red Wheelbarrow" as an example, and an article on American politics and imperialism. This zine also contains some clippings and a hand drawn comic called "Little Birdy Guy." The author shares her LiveJournal ID, otherwaitress.
