He is the author of The Last Residence of Mickey Acuna and  The Magic of Blood, stories which Jim Harrison said: "deal with a portion of society that literature seldom ever reaches."Howard Junker is the founding editor &amp; publisher of ZYZZYVA, a quarterly of West Coast writers and artists.This program was produced as part of the 1997 season of Racing Toward the Millennium: Voices from the American West in partnership with the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.
