From Hospital to High or "Here Is a Steve" A Story of Steven Reise, Plus Poetry Analysis and Poems (Book 1) - "Here Is A Steve"

This Book, titled, "From Hospital To High" or "Here Is A Steve", A Story of Steven Reise, Plus, Poetry Analysis and Poems by yours truly, Steven Paul Reise, actually consists of three separate sections.

Section 1, as I will refer to it, consists of the Foreword/Introduction/Acknowledgements/Philosophies and Page 1 of Volume 1 of my memoir, "Here Is A Steve". This first volume, probably of four or five volumes of the autobiography of my life, is comprised of: 1. Earliest Memories (of my childhood) and, 2. Scrap Book Years, entailing my scholastic and athletic achievements up to and including high school.

Section 2: Is "my first book ever", and is entitled, "From Hospital To High". This book was written by me, sometime in the 6th grade of elementary school. As I would enter junior HIGH school the following year, this is the significance of "High". This would have taken place sometime in the fall of 1969 and spring of 1970. This book encompasses the years from my birth to the age of twelve.

Section 3: Has a cover with labels stating: Steve Reise

Poetry
Notebook

The poetry notebook was written in Junior High School around 1970-1972. It has six original poems of different forms of poetry, authored by, again, yours truly, Steven Reise around the age of thirteen or fourteen. The notebook also contains analysis of poetry types written by notable poets, Carl Sandburg, William Shakespeare, E. E. Cummings, Howard Nemerov, Ernest Kroll, John Ciardi, and one poem by an anonymous author.

This book is not the end. It is just the beginning of a series of books I plan to write in the future. As I have stated, I will be writing a memoir of my life which may encapsulate four or five volumes. Volume 1 should be published in early spring of of 2024.

As I had some forms of relationships with women from Russia; Ukraine, and to a lesser extent, most recently, three women from the former Soviet/Russia satellite country, Kazakhstan, I would like to write of my experiences with these interesting women.

Without further ado, here we go...
