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 Years 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.
