The Cincinnati Anthology

A part of Belt's City Anthology Series, "A deft, well-considered collection of essays, illustrations and photographs that represents...'the visions of those who have fallen madly in love with the city of Cincinnati, either for the first time or all over again.'"--Cincinnati CityBeat

The Cincinnati Anthology brings together some of the Queen City's most notable residents, native sons and daughters, and creatives to tell tales of a city's triumphs and tribulations.

Edited by Zan McQuade, this collection reflects Cincinnati's true complexity: its present and its past, its transitions and its legacies; what defines it and distinguishes it; what makes us love it and what makes some eventually leave it. It is an anthology on genealogy and geology, race and progress, and experiences from the suburbs to Over-the-Rhine. Included are contributions from Curtis Sittenfeld, John Curley, Cedric Michael Cox, Rebecca Morgan Frank, Jack Heffron, Polk Laffoon IV, Katie Laur, Sam LeCure, Over the Rhine, Michael Wilson, and many more. Here you'll find:

- Portraits of Price Hill Residents

- The dog parks of Over-the-Rhine

- 5 Things a Relief Pitcher for the Reds loves about the city

- A legacy of segregation that still resonates today

- The Freestore Foodbank

- An ode to Pete Rose.

An insider's guide to the story of Cincinnati and the myriad lives that are lived there.
