One Leg Out, 2007, is a memorial text of 62,000 words, based on a personal experience that took place in the early 1990's. 

The text portrays the chance encounter and symbiotic relationship between an intense storyteller, who is slipping into homelessness, and a silenced but active listener.

The Narrator's voice is one of great sensitivity, cravings, and gallows humor - expressing a conviction that as bad as any situation is, nothing prevents it from spinning further out of control. It is also a voice of chronic resistance, and the critique is multi-directed: at dominant systems, counter-systems, family, social circle, intermittent workmates, self, and listener. Meaning is found in continued engagement and moments of tender connection.

In text, The Narrator singles out one group that is doing effective work on behalf of the homeless population: Mad Housers - a group started by activist architects in Atlanta. In 2010, I was able to meet with the group in Atlanta.
