Between My Throat and These Truths

In “Between My Throat and These Truths” a 44-year-old Queer Buddhist reflects on his decade-long journey through unexpected complications after his cancer treatment, including a daunting diagnosis of aspiration, where food unexpectedly enters his lungs.

Through poignant poetry, he captures the raw emotions of his experience—fear, hope, and the search for meaning. Each verse reveals not only his struggle but also the profound insights gleaned from years of introspection. Interwoven with heartfelt commentary, this book offers a deep, personal exploration of suffering, healing, and the transformative power of words.
