I started writing about jazz for downbeat and Jazz and Coda magazines when I first lived in Detroit. I started publishing my poems and rants in international poetry magazines from my base in Detroit. I wrote stories and columns for the Fifth Estate and other underground newspapers ...

... a face lift and several years later when I went back the zoo was completely changed and these old buildings had been done away with. It's too bad they couldn't keep the earlier era look but had updated them to be more in keeping with the concerns for the animals.
