In \u003ci\u003eFinding My Voice, \u003c\/i\u003e Michael uses poems to render the experience of living with aphasia with tenderness, frustration, and eloquence. Aphasia changes our relationship to words, as both Michael and I know all too well. And yet a changed relationship is not a broken one, just like a life redirected by a singular traumatic event is not a broken one. Michael epitomizes so beautifully finding purpose in hardship, and I'm so grateful for the gift of this unforgettable collection of poems.\" \u003cb\u003e-Gabby Giffords, former Congresswoman\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eFinding My Words\u003c\/i\u003e is a gift to the world.
