...My Checkered Career
Writing of mine has appeared in "little magazines," among them VDRSVP, Ricochet, Unmuzzled Ox, San Francisco Earthquake and John Bryan's Notes From Underground, as well as in Partisan Review, The New York Times Book Review, Trans-Atlantik and The Journal of Film History.Years ago in one of his many volumes (I think it was "The End of Intelligent Writing: Literary Politics in America"), the critic Richard Kostelanetz praised me in my youth as a leading avant-garde poet. I might have proved him right by living up to his expectations for my future, but the promise went unfulfilled.
Instead, I became a journalist. I've been the senior editor/producer for Entertainment & Arts at MSNBC.com, a reporter and columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times, the New York Daily News and the Los Angeles Times, and a mid-career fellow of the National Arts Journalism Program at Columbia University.
