Reviews" 'The Milwaukee Anthology' joins a long list of city anthologies released by feisty Belt Publishing.... [A] mosaic of a book." -- Jim Higgins, Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, "The Milwaukee Anthology shines brightest when contemplating Milwaukee's borderlands, energetic communities that defy the city's stolid reputation. ... The Milwaukee revealed in this anthology is a complex, vibrant place, a counterpoint to the stale typecasting in too much of our state's public discourse." -- Alexander Shashko, Wisconsin People & Ideas

SynopsisThe Milwaukee Anthology is a book on hope and hurt in one of America's toughest ZIP codes. In these pages are the stories of a Grecian basketball superstar in the making against an unlikely backdrop; of Sikh temple services that carry on after one of America's most notorious mass shootings; of an astronaut's wish for kids in the same school halls where he formed a dream of space. You won't find Summerfest or Laverne and Shirley herein, but you will find Riverwest, Sherman Park, and the South Side; Hmong New Year's shows, 7 Mile Fair, and the Rolling Mill commemoration. Edited by Justin Kern, with personal essays, narratives, poems, Q&A's, and art from more than 50 contributors including Dasha Kelly, Pardeep Kaleka, and Michael Perry, it's a book about a place on the lake that can make you say "yes" and wonder "why" in the same thought., Part of Belt's City Anthology Series. "[A] mosaic of a book."-- Milwaukee Journal Sentinel The Milwaukee Anthology is a book about hope and hurt in one of America's toughest zip codes. In the essays, narratives, poems, and art included here, you won't find Summerfest or Laverne and Shirley , but you will find honest first-hand stories about Riverwest, Sherman Park, Hmong New Year's shows, 7 Mile Fair, and the Rolling Mill commemoration. Edited by Justin Kern, and with more than 50 contributors including Dasha Kelly, Pardeep Kaleka, and Michael Perry, this collection includes stories about: - Redlining in the city - Painting a community mural in Sherman Park - Reflections after the Oak Creek Sikh Temple Shooting - The city's upstart microbrewing industry - The rise of Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks. It's an anthology about a place on the lake that can make you say "yes" and wonder "why" in the same thought. A place that's both a big town and small city, run down and redeveloped, tararrel and terror. A collection that shows the Cream City is much weirder and more wonderful than you may think it is.
