This third collection of poems (Thimble Flood; Fingerprints on Silk) entitled Approaching Woodward, takes a hard look at the city, sporadically through the 1980Õs and 90Õs and early 2000Õs, 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 AmericaÕs Greatest City. A poetic tour de force of the grit and glitz, which defines Detroit.
