[Hell washed up in New York City in the early 1970s as a 17-year-old runaway from Lexington, Ky., hoping to make his mark as a poet and writer. He wasn't running from anything as much as he was just running.] I always just had this urge to just take off, so at least once a year I would run away from home, just to get out from under any restrictions, ... That was a big part of my conception of myself, running away.
