The Shape of My Silence: Coming out of the psychological closet: Poems and reflections from the spectrum

The Shape of My Silence is more than a collection of poems; it is a raw map of self-discovery.

Félix M. Pérez-Cuza—a professional violinist, luthier, and psychology scholar—invites us into the intricate corridors of a mind on the spectrum. Through a voice that is both animalistic and sacred, these pages explore the tension between the music we play for the world and the silence we inhabit when the lights go out.

It is a journey for anyone who has ever felt like an outsider in their own skin, seeking the light at the end of the psychological tunnel. From the "Big Bang" of existence to the final prayers for connection, this book gives a voice to the neurodivergent experience with unflinching honesty.

"A deep search to decipher my own world, where art and the study of the mind joined to let me understand, at last, the language of my own silence."
