Edge City

Edge City chronicles my trials and tribulations, some tragic, some heartfelt, and some humorous, as I searched for what it means to be a human in this country and on this planet. Life's lessons are presented in journal form as I drift around the country as a migrant farm laborer, a worker in woolen mills and a tannery, farmhand, draftsman, and a troubadour at Mardi Gras, Key West, and up and down the Eastern seaboard. Edge City ultimately becomes a call to action as I become a father, homesteader, and eventually a social worker working with the homeless, mentally ill, and often addicted as I realize we all face the challenge of survival together.
