Rust Belt Chic: The Cleveland Anthology planning continues. This much we know: we will self-publish a print book, a (longer) ebook and run contributor content on this site. We aim to announce the table of contents at the beginning of July.

Some of the folks we’ve been talking were name-checked here and here. With them we have batting around ideas about Jane Scott, vinyl records, losing teams, tuba players, vineyards, Harvey Pekar, shame and moving away, moving back and staying put.

Here are a few more writers and artists who have shown up in our inbox:

Douglas Max Utter
Erick Trickey
Philip Metres
Laura Putre
Kevin Hoffman 
Ted Sikora
