Best of the Midwest

The May edition of Belt Out features a lively trio of writers published in Midwestern Gothic, a cool Ann Arbor-based literary magazine that features the same kind of sharp, sophisticated writing you find in Cleveland’s own Belt Magazine. Tonight at 7:30 at the Happy Dog, you can hear Midwestern Gothic contributors Rachel Hall (fiction), Kate E. Schultz (poetry) and Matt Young (fiction) read from their work at 7:30. Admission is free.
