Travis Laurence Naught is a poet who is not willing to trade on tragedy. He is a man of risk, afflicted with ferocious, unrestricted thinking and ruthless questioning, though he has never taken an independent step in his life. Many in his shoes might feel confined by the metal of a wheelchair, but Naught's work conveys a freedom and an audaciousness that will surprise readers with his startling views. The Virgin Journals speak truth through poetry and prose. They tell the reader about Naught's frustrations, from being a quadriplegic to his life of celibacy in his late twenties. In the end, his expectation is for readers to forget physical disabilities and concentrate on that which makes us similar: life, love, and the obstacles we work to overcome. Read more

What if someone walked into surgery and awoke quadriplegic -- never having been warned of this risk? What if someone not only survived but also endured the horrors of this disability with hope and humor? What if that someone traveled, worked, entertained, returned to school, earned a masters degree, a law degree and got married? What if someone wrote a funny and tearful book about it? Someone did. That book is The Squeaky Wheel -- an Unauthorized Autobiography and is the first book to honestly and humorously deal with acquiring a major disability and the profound loss and injustices that accompany paralysis. This book focuses on the author's accomplishments without straining to pat him on the back. This memoir does not back away from the details of degradation, urine, ignorance and indifference from the unknowing.What if someone walked into surgery and awoke quadriplegic -- never having been warned of this risk?
