The logo was designed by Charles Luckman & Associates for the civic plaza of Phoenix, Arizona. The creator of this logo deserves credit for its brilliant design. The black portrays the bird, and the white portrays an embryo. If the artist should happen to run across this site, please contact me.

This logo is now a part of the copyright of the PHOENIX literary work. This image was retired to make way for a new life, and with permission of the city of Phoenix, rose from its ashes to serve a'new, the body of literary opus here.

Publication

Phoenix has not been printed by a publisher as a whole. Op.15 "Apocalypsis" was printed in book form with photos (entitled "Apocalypse," J.Hwong Publishing, 1980).  Some of the shorter compositions (The Original Peace and Firmament of Illusion) were published as fanfold broadsides in Seattle, Washington (1979). Excerpts of Phoenix were published in various anthologies from 1982 to present. The primary outlet for Phoenix is the Phoenix website (1995).

Work in Progress

In addition to new projects, all of Phoenix is a work in progress; there is always improvements to make, even if only by one horse hair strokes.
