And, woven in with my stories is the personal aspects of my life from early childhood growing up in a rural steel town in western Pennsylvania to my international art and writing life. We all write about what we know – and that is what brings our stories and poems to life.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The most important thing I know from my years of life is to never worry about my audience.

And, it took me eight years to write the book after I left rehab and worked for 2 years to do things with adaptive equipment – and personal adjustment to blindness. The theme of struggle and recovery runs through the book, of course.
