Stuttering As Art

Identity, Connections, and Writing Poetry with Poet Tyson Higel


Listen Later

Host Madeline Wahl speaks with Tyson Higel, a nurse, a poet, and most unimportant of all, a person who stutters. His difficulty with speaking is what led him to writing, however—a landscape in which words are no longer obstacles, but bridges. Confessions of a Stutterer aims to be a bridge itself, to connect the reader, the listener, to what goes unspoken for from those who struggle with speaking.

Together, they talk about poetry, stuttering, identity, and more.
