"The normal me feels so foreign."

Caleb Thoms, diagnosed with a rare degenerative disorder known as Ehlers Danlos, fights his body and his mind every day. Sometimes, it seems more accurate to say that his mind and his body fight him.

In and out of hospitals and constantly wondering what organ or tendon will fail him next or what heartbreak is on the horizon, Caleb resists and finds agency through his poetry. He contemplates life, death, love, faith, and more in his collection, Esoterica Mysteries: Volume 1. Featuring poems from all six previous installments in the Esoterica Mysteries series, this volume also introduces new, never-before-seen poems and breathtaking illustrations.
