Jon Whiting is one of the people who extend the ladder – Lansing City Pulse (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The transition from summer into fall has always felt more like a new year to me than Jan. 1. January arrives in the middle of a Michigan winter, when everything is too cold and meh. A new school year meant new shoes, new friends and the possibility of stumbling into an adventure you never planned. Nearly a decade after my last university class, I still feel that possibility every fall. For me, one of those unexpected adventures was poetry. When I began studying at Michigan State University in 20
The performance of a lifetime: Rose Cooper’s advice for the stage and marriage – Lansing City Pulse (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you’ve ever performed onstage and forgotten your lines, one of the first things you’re taught is to just stay. Be present. The audience isn’t looking for perfection. They’re looking for you to be there. I met Rose Cooper when I was in college, at MSU Slam Team meetings.

The Robin Theatre is a garden where Lansing's artists grow – Lansing City Pulse (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A gardener spends most of their time tending the soil, not admiring the flowers. Visitors spend their time admiring the blooms. They compliment the colors. They take pictures in the spring. The gardener knows the real work that went into the soil long before anyone arrived. I’ve always thought of The Robin Theatre as our garden. For more than a decade, The Robin Theatre has quietly become one of Lansing’s most important places for artists to grow. Poets, musicians, comedians, playwrights and non
A Lifetime of Stories: Retired LCC Professor Mary Fox on Poetry, Grief, and Connection – Lansing City Pulse (opens the original)
Read excerpt
LeBron James was drafted when I was in high school. I still remember the hype. The high school phenom. The Chosen One. Before he ever stepped onto an NBA court, the world already had expectations for who he was supposed to become. More than two decades later, he is still playing. Watching him stay this healthy for so long is incredible. I never call professional athletes fragile because I know if I pick up a box the wrong way, I’ll be giving myself a four- to six-week injury report. It’s strange
