Loose Leaves is the first volume of a three part autobiography .The second volume is Loose Leaves & Sycamore Trees, and the third volume is still in process. This work of non-fiction began as a course requirement while I was in a graduate program at Stetson University in DeLand, Florida. It was an masters level program in mental health counseling with one of the courses requiring students to keep a personal journal.That course requirement led to this based upon the autobiographical model of Maxim Gorky's three part autobiography using what I think is a similar prose poetry method to that developed by the beat writer Jack Kerouac with a nod to the poet of democracy Walt Whitman who spent the later years of his life in the sad sack old industrial town that I was born in. That was 1950 and the city ghost town is Camden, New Jersey.
