April is Native Plant Month! On the blog, KSU Press’s director puts the annual celebration of native plants in dialogue with last week's @RustBeltLab symposium on the Regenerative Rust Belt—and arrives at insight about publishing, place, and the act of giving voice.

I love Superman and the new statue now proudly displayed in downtown Cleveland. I must say, though, I’m most proud of helping make this a reality. None of us would be doing of any of this without Jerry, Joe and Joanne. Welcome back home, friends! @JamesGunn @SiegelShuster38

For me Cleveland was the third partner in the creation of Superman. That @JamesGunn chose Cleveland to film is a full circle. @ClevelandMag @SiegelShuster38

Snapped this pic of Dr. Valentino Zullo at the West Side Market — a true Cleveland gem. Assistant Prof. at Ursuline, Anisfield-Wolf Fellow, co-director of Rust Belt Humanities Lab, and co-founder of Get Graphic at @Cleveland_PL. Always a joy working with him on lit events.
