Made of Rust and Glass (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781736772874)

These pages are filled with the original and distinctly Midwest voices of 19 writers and poets. These are our stories, the stories we live every single day. These are the things we are Made of: Dirt and grime, sorrow and disappointment, trial and tribulation, but also small revelations, moments of closeness in unexpected spaces, and hope for a better tomorrow.

A rancher finds a moment of quiet while his wife slips away. An old woman passes her final hours, and a baby is born. A stranger makes a new friend. Our stories are all different, but they are Made of Rust and Glass.

Consider this book our love letter to the Midwest's arts and literature scene, the first of many, and find it sealed not with wax but with grit.
