Larry Green has always loved to write from the time he was in high school and took a Creative writing class and received kind attention from his teacher, Mrs. Perkins. While a psychiatric technician, he learned to document his observations of the behaviors of the patients entrusted to his group for counseling and carried out Dr.'s orders, security of the units, and various other duties involved with interdisciplinary actions of the team, observed a great deal of violence which generated an S.I.R. (Special Incident Report), and, after having written one, had a Dr. read one and candidly remark, "Wow, this is well-written", and have written various poems about life, love, and his experiences with working with these men. (A.S.H. is a male-only facility).
