In 1980 Ray Vincent left San Francisco because he was suffering from multiple sclerosis. He moved back to Barberton, Ohio ("Magic City") to live with his mother, who was a nurse, bringing with him a package of poems and stories. But it was in San Francisco that Ray felt at home, synthesizing his life with poetry. Most of Ray's writings reflect the events of those times, his own life's events and passions. This book is a collection of his work of more than a dozen years in those unsettled and idealistic times, and includes memories of Ray from some of his friends.
