Confessions of a Stutterer is an honest account of living a life of secrecy-that is, until the author's mouth betrays him. In this brave tell-all, Higel's poems articulate what is often left unspoken for as a person who stutters. Coursing from attempts at deception to detection, his poems speak to the embarrassment, shame, and eventual acceptance of what needs, no longer, to be hidden. From tragedy to triumph, these personal poems are relatable to all of us, in our own personal way.
