Published on February 9th, 2012

Philip Schultz is a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet. He is also dyslexic. His recently-released memoir, My Dyslexia (W. W. Norton), traces his struggles with undiagnosed dyslexia and the determination that led to his tremendous success.

Mr. Schultz joined us to discuss his experiences growing up dyslexic, and he read a couple of poems, too. Watch the video below and let us know in the comments if you have read his book.
