I attended Grand Valley State Colleges for one peace activism filled year. Unfortunately, I forgot to go to class in the 1981/82 academic year. Enough said.
After transferring to Eastern Michigan University I graduated from EMU with a English Literature degree and a minor in writing.
This brings us to the Ypsilanti, Michigan based Purple Walrus Press!
I founded Purple Walrus Press in 2012 in Ypsilanti, MI. PWP is primarily focused on Ypsilanti / Ann Arbor, MI area news, but we also address issues and news on a state and national level as well. PWP strives to shine a light and provide perspectives not always featured in the mainstream media. PWP also covers breaking news events in and around Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor. PWP features music and theater reviews! Purple Walrus Press presents online articles daily, but we also publish a quarterly print edition which you can pick up for free around Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor. Look for upcoming columns from PWP writers listed below, as well as yours truly, of course.
Thanks!
