This third collection of poems (Thimble Flood; Fingerprints on Silk) entitled Approaching Woodward, takes a hard look at the city, sporadically through the 1980's and 90's and early 2000's, leading up to most of the poems which fill this volume from 2012-2019 encompassing the recession years, the Grand Bargain and the halting return of America's Greatest City. A poetic tour de force of the grit and glitz, which defines Detroit.
