It was such a joy to watch people take their time and read every page of Peculiar Wilderness: A Chicago Alphabet on Saturday. One patron said, "As someone from Chicago, this book speaks to me."

A nice article about the upcoming book release. @rogersparkman.bsky.social, you are mentioned. The story was a little different, but it's close if you remember all of this. southwestregionalpublishing.com/2026/09/27/c...

As part of the #beverlyartwalk on the south side of #Chicago an exhibition of original paintings by Dmitry Samarov paired with text by Keith Lewis, from the upcoming release (Oct) from Broken Nose Books -- Peculiar Wilderness: A Chicago Alphabet -- will be at the Beverly Arts Center! September 26!
Two lines of framed artworks on a green wall. Many of themA poster advertising an exhibition of paintings and text from a book called peculiar wilderness a Chicago alphabet. Alt text is acting weird today. Sorry. I can't see what I'm typing. It's part of the Beverly art walk in Chicago

"Yet once you've come to be part of this particular patch, you'll never love another. Like loving a woman with a broken nose, you may well find lovelier lovelies. But never a lovely so real." Nelson Algren, Chicago: City on the Make #chicago #literature #chicagowriters #brokennosebooks
