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 Reader Independent Press Award
Nominee, Smile, Hon has also been dubbed "Best Zine" by Baltimore
Magazine (2013 & 2008) and Baltimore City
Paper (2004). Other special theme issues have tackled such
subjects as sex, rats, tattoos and waste.
An Eight-Stone Press

MD); City Lights Books (San
Francisco, CA) Cyclops Books & Music
