"My congratulations... It was a privilege to read your poems, and I feel the wiser for it."
G.K. Nelson
"You have an enviable gift of expressing complex emotions in unexpected ways. Often, when I’m reading your work, I find myself wishing I’d written it."
Sharon Hogan
"Personal, revelatory, honest... I read the whole collection in a single sitting, caught and carried by the honesty and humility and tenderness and humour."
Who is DUGGAN?
Autism is overlooked and misunderstood . It is a difference, not a disorder.
​
To highlight those differences - and not to distract from them - the poet DUGGAN does not claim any gender, nationality or race.
DUGGAN'S poems are written from the perspectives of autistic
women and men; the young and the old, and the differently abled.
