This current anthology is the product of years of my extensive experience with the written word. The original anthology contained the black-and-white illustrations included in this book. The writings in that book evolved from my brief time as a homeless person after my graduation from Columbia College, Chicago. This book is an extension of my experience with the counseling services of the Thresholds Dincin Center and with the Bezazian Writers Groupa group originally formed as part of the now-defunct Neighborhood Writing Alliance.
