Review and commentary
- Ann Arbor—home of the University of Michigan and rousing radical newspapers—has seen fifteen issues of its Critical Moment.. Bad Subjects, 2006.
Throughout the 1990s, Eric Lormand published a free monthly paper called the Agenda, whose crowded pages mixed leftist (occasionally sectarian) political platforms and demands, movie reviews and long poetic rambles by Arwulf Arwulf, the erudite WEMU-FM jazz DJ. Lormand is credited as an inspsiration to Critical Moment, which also includes a useful Community Calendar, and juxtaposes essays effectively with poems. At this writing, fifteen issues of Critical Moment have been published and distributed free in Washtenaw County. Below are noted some successful characteristics of the last few.
