Philip Schultz: My Dyslexia (Book and Audio Book)
Philip Schultz won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 2008 but could never shake the feeling of being exiled to the “dummy class” in school. Not until many years later, when his oldest son was diagnosed with dyslexia, did Schultz realize that he suffered from the same condition. In this memoir, Schultz traces his difficult childhood and his new understanding of his early years. In doing so, he shows how a boy who did not learn to read until he was eleven went on to become a prize-winning poet by sheer force of determination.
