Biography
Ken and Ann Mikolowski, both natives of Detroit, married in 1961. Ken received a BA in
English from Wayne State University in 1964, and Ann studied art at
both the Center for Creative Studies and Wayne State. By the late 1960's they had become
part of the artistic community that was centered in the Cass Corridor in Detroit. The
purchased the letterpress of the Detroit Artists Workshop and began to experiment in the
basement of their house at 4339 Avery Street.
At first they printed 8 ½ by 11 broadsides of poetry as the Artists Workshop had before
them. The featured work was the poetry and art of friends and colleagues who were also a
part of the radical community of artists in the area at that time. Ken Mikolowski
selected the poetry and typeset, while Ann Mikolowski
typeset, designed and often illustrated. The printed product they distributed for free on
the street, as a way to get poetry out into the hands of the people. Later they were to add
bookmarks, bumper stickers and postcards to their repertoire of print media. Soon the work
expanded to include original drawings, paintings, and collages that often served to
illustrate the accompanying poem. Each item printed bore the signature, "a free poem by The
Alternative Press."
When a scarcity of funds threatened a continuance of their activities, the couple came up
with the idea of selling subscriptions for numbered periodic packets of an assortment of
Alternative Press items. So in 1971 they began sending out the celebrated "mailings," a new
form of literary and artistic journal, which artists and subscribers alike appreciated. The
unique nature of the works produced by The Alternative Press were completely unique; both
the poetry and visual works were created specifically for The Alternative Press and were not
published or duplicated elsewhere.
In 1974, the Mikolowskis moved the Press to a former general store in Grindstone
City, a small town at the tip of the thumb of the state. The activities of the
press continued to grow from this new location as the word spread among an ever-growing
circle of artists and poets across the country.
In addition to the poetry postcards, the artist postcards prove to be an integral element
included in the packets. Artists were asked to make a set of 500 original postcards on which
they were free to use whatever medium they fancied. The postcards were usually thematic and
were often used by artists to work through a specific idea. The postcard size and shape,
unfamiliar as a working tool for most artists, challenged artists to branch off into
directions and styles.
The Alternative Press helped to define and hold together the Detroit art community by
publishing and fostering collaborations between Detroit artists and writers. The Press'
scope and influence extended beyond the regional level, however. The pages of Alternative
Press materials were filled with original artwork from some of the great artistic luminaries
of the time. Artists and poets included in Alternative Press mailings range from some of the
leading poets of the Beat and Black Mountain schools to the gritty voices of Detroit's Cass
Corridor artistic community. The Press also served as a showcase for the work of Ken and Ann
themselves. A number of times each year the packets would feature a postcard or bookmark
featuring Ann's artwork or Ken's poetry.
In addition to the Press' exceptional artistic content, the Alternative Press was
distinguished by the look and design of its printed products, which was defined by the
Mikolowskis' creative decisions in typesetting and letterpress printing.

Artists and poets: correspondence, writings, and ephemera [series]: The activities of Ken and Ann Mikolowski and their Alternative Press created a sense of
community among the artists whose work the Press distributed. The Artists and Poets
Series illustrates this high degree of connection between and among the artists.
This series is the largest of the collection, taking up 14 linear feet. The largest
sub-series consists of correspondence from the Mikolowskis' close friends such as Donna
Brook, Morgan Blair (Faye Kicknosway), Kenward Elmslie and Sue Pickard. Of the numerous
correspondents, some of particular note are Robert Bly, Andrei Codrescu, Robert Creely,
Allen Ginsburg, Donald Hall, Anselm Hollo, Bradley Jones, Norman Mailer, Ron Padgett,
Robert Sestok, John Sinclair, Patricia Söderberg and Anne Waldman. By far the most
voluminous is the Jim Gustafson sub-series, which includes incoming and outgoing
correspondence, printed materials, writings, and ephemera.
The variety of materials in this series reflects that there was little distinction
between business and friendship. Propositions for collaboration and event announcements
are intermingled with family photos and birth announcements. The correspondence is often
accompanied by original poems that were created for potential poetry postcards or
bookmarks. Some artists and presses, such as the Cold Mountain Press of Austin, Texas
also sent their own poetry postcards to the Alternative Press. Other notable items in
the series include: Hanuman Press material; press clippings for poetry readings and
exhibits openings; longtime Detroit sportswriter Joe Falls' unpublished mystery novel
Supreme Justice ; Detroit poet Judith Goren's piece
"Detroit Suburb, 1967" about the Detroit Riots/Rebellion; and a position paper by writer
Clayton Eshleman.
The vibrancy of the artistic life of the Cass Corridor and the place of Wayne State
University in the community is well-reflected in this series. The turbulent social and
political climate of the United States in the 1970s and 1980s is also central to much of
the material in the Artists and Poets series, from John Sinclair's correspondence from
jail, to Vietnam protest material, to the Urbations' performance schedules.

Small Presses [series]: As one of the best-known small presses in the United States, The Alternative Press
attracted a lot of interest from other small presses. This series is dominated by
correspondence and print samples from small presses who were interested in sharing their
work, or collaborating with, The Alternative Press. Correspondence of friends of the
Mikolowski's who also ran small presses makes up the remainder of the series. To
highlight the difficulty of making a distinction between the Small Presses series and
the Artists and Poets series, there are cross-references between the two. For artists
who happened to be involved in printing, but whose material was largely correspondence
that did not primary reflect their printing activities, the decision was made to keep
these files in the Artists and Poets Series
