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). Special theme issues have tackled such
subjects as work, alleyways, sex, rats, and tattoos.

Hon, You’re in Baltimore! is available for purchase at Atomic Books

Music (Baltimore, MD); Microcosm Distribution; Quimby’s (Chicago, IL); Red
