The volume
Streets, work and survival
A first-person account of Chelsea, Massachusetts in the 1970s and 1980s, pairing Joshua Resnek’s narrative with Arnie Jarmak’s photographs of the working city.
A closer, harder-edged account of a working city: its streets, weather, buildings and the people who carried on inside them.

Why it matters
Rugged makes the physical city impossible to ignore. Its built environment is not a backdrop; it shapes the choices, limits and resilience of the people living there.
From the approved cover
The official cover centers a solitary house in a cleared, snowbound landscape—an image of endurance rather than nostalgia.
