In [[1973]] Brown moved from the suburbs to Birmingham’s [[Southside]], a community just below Red Mountain and ten minutes from the downtown area of Birmingham where the most violent confrontations of the Civil Rights era took place. Not unlike New York City's Greenwich Village and San Francisco's Haight Ashbury during the 1960s, Southside, in stark contrast to the Civil Rights battleground in downtown Birmingham, was home to a tolerant alternative artistic, cultural and lifestyle scene. The Southside community featured an alternative newspaper'', [[The Paperman]]'', a Buddhist styled natural foods store, Golden Temple Health Foods,  a folk music coffeehouse, [[Society's Child]], The Charlemagne Record Exchange, [[The Garages]] art studios, the [[Red Mountain Alternative School]], several communes, an alternative culture headshop and a free medical clinic.

There he joined a loose congregation of artists, writers and musicians who gathered and lived at the [[Cobb Lane Studios]] above the [[Cobb Lane Restaurant]]. He began his writing career at the alternative newspaper ''[[The Paperman]]'' as a journalist, books and literary editor and music reviewer. He created and edited for the paper an original series of features and profiles of American artists and writers that included photographer Diane Arbus, writers [[John Beecher]], Charles Bukowski, Allen Ginsberg, Richard Hugo, Diane Wakoski, and Poets against the Vietnam War.

With Birmingham writer Danny Gamble in [[1980]], he founded the Old Town Music and Reading series on [[Morris Avenue]] off of [[20th Street North]] in downtown Birmingham. The founding of this performance series was the culmination of a number of years of sponsorship by Brown of conferences, readings and music performances by Birmingham artists. Brown and Gamble coordinated with Drew Tombrello, owner of The Old Town Music Hall, to present performances to audiences three times a year. Performers included many local musician and writers, such as musicians [[Lolly Lee]], Charles Muse, [[Ray Reach]], Macey Taylor, The Broken Hearts, and writers Johnny Coley, Dale Short, and Michael Swindle. There were also periodic performances by such notable musicians as Mose Allison and Larry Jon Wilson and writers Michael Harper, Philip Levine, Larry Levis and Shirley Williams.

His own research for the series was on the short fiction and novels of Barthelme. It was during this time that he met poet Vassar Miller and edited ''Heart's Invention'' (1988), a book of literary criticism about the poetry of the former Texas Poet Laureate. ''Heart's Invention'' included an introductory essay by novelist, screenwriter and Pulitzer Prize winner Larry McMurtry. It was also during this period that Brown began translating the work of Spanish poet Ángel González that resulted in the publication  of ''Astonishing World: The Selected Poems of Ángel González, 1956-1986'' (Milkweed Editions, 1992). ''The Harvard Review'' concluded a lengthy review of ''Astonishing World'' with a final word of praise: "Bravo".
