Revised Edition 2019, 250 pages with 40 portrait photos by the author
Portrays the shattered lives of girls next door who became crack, coke, opioid, and heroin addicts, and who in their hustle for drugs became streetwalkers and internet escorts. In jailhouse journals and interviews, they confess with candor and courage to their sex work and drug crimes.
“Throughout, the stylized prose is full of dramatic turns of phrase….The stories are often engaging and tragic. Some speak with a remarkable, epigraphic honesty….The book effectively calls attention to the impact of addiction….An intriguing account of the lives of troubled sex workers.” –- Kirkus Reviews

"A remarkably intelligent book" -- The Washington Post

"It's the kind of book that will endure. ... it could become a classic." — Vegetarian Times
"Radical Vegetarianism was three steps ahead when first written, and still is. It’s just as meaningful today as it was in 1981, if not more so." – Veg News, December 2011
MORE than meets the mind
Portfolios of photos mostly around my home in the Connecticut College Arboretum.
The DEER portfolio shows my deer neighbors in their natural setting.
The NUDES in NATURE portfolio shows my dear human neighbors in their natural setting and in their natural state, which is nude. (Actually the deer too are nude.) Lechers, be adivised, no frontal nudity here!
And the several series of SEASONS in SEQUENCE teach the ephemerality of all existence.
