Summary

These poems take the reader through a life that is by turns raw, humorous, and at times, poignant. They tell of growing up in a rough blue-collar family in the fifties, of a young man working in the steel mills of Gary, Indiana, of love and the end of love, and finally, of a life on the streets for almost two decades.

Author Biography
