Böcker av Voice of the Harbor

Dieagnosis is a collection of poetry based on a journey of self-discovery, working through the traumas and the struggles of being a Gay Latino in an impacted religious society. The author explores his personal development through every challenge, where he learned valuable lessons of never giving up and not allowing anyone to take away his power. He testifies to the experience of diminishing his own power by giving it away to bullies, past relationships, and even to his own mind. He references whispers, darkness, and the void because he is a survivor of suicide. This collection of poetry also contains Checkpoints, which are pages where he interacts with readers to acknowledge the consent that was taken. He also has a companion workbook entitled Beacon to provide readers with extra support in their own mental wellness development. Content Warning: mentions of suicide, self-harm, and physical and sexual abuse.
