From the harbor to the hills, Smile, Hon, You’re in Baltimore! collects the tales of those on
whom Mobtown has left her indelible mark.
Polished, professional essays, barroom sermons delivered from the
sanctity of a favorite stool; the poet’s fleeting sentiment, captured in both
word and snapshot – Smile, Hon offers
a slice of Baltimore as told by Baltimore, presented with the time-honored DIY
accessibility of a limited-run, handcrafted zine. A two-time Utne Independent Press Award Nominee,
Smile, Hon has also been dubbed “Best
Zine” by Baltimore Magazine (2008)
and Baltimore City Paper (2004). Special theme issues have tackled such
subjects as alleyways, sex, rats, and tattoos.
