Turn the Lights On!: A Physician’s Personal Journey from the Darkness of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) to Hope, Healing, and Recovery

As both a physician and a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) survivor, Dr. Chrisanne Gordon is uniquely qualified to write this book. Her resume appears as preparation for TBI: training in science, internal medicine, and treatment of trauma; expertise in physical medicine and rehabilitation. She was already widely published in these fields, an invited lecturer and speaker when In 1996 she suffered a TBI and spent the next 2 years calling on all of the resources she had – mental, physical, financial, and spiritual – to work through her own recovery and find a new “normalcy.” By 2008, following years of expanding her right brain through writing and filming creatively, she was practicing medicine again, developing new expertise in a very precise form of rehabilitation. When volunteering to perform TBI evaluations at her local Veterans Administration Hospital she was appalled by the fact that the men and women she met during these evaluations were so often dismissed and over-medicated. To increase awareness of the plight of the veteran with TBI, and to offer solutions for this global epidemic, she filmed the documentary Operation Resurrection, which was completed in 2011. For over a decade, she has worked with the Veterans Administration and the Department of Defense and in collaboration with the civilian world to provide solutions for employment, education, and health care to benefit our veterans.

If Only The Names Were Changed

“The Beauty of Self-deprecation is in Andrew Miller’s If Only The Names Were Changed.” – Ploughshares

“If Only The Names Were Changed is an ode to the American fuck-ups and the art of fucking up … Taken altogether, [it] is a curious blend of memoir and fiction. With a dazzling degree of different perspectives, trying hard for honesty and earnestness while retaining a truly compelling narrative.” – Beachsloth

“Essentially an assemblage of essays, it eschews a linear chronology for something more
peripatetic; the author freely roams from subject to subject, often slipping into a highly stylized, almost poetic discursiveness … Miller is at his best when mixing unabashed candor with analytical self-scrutiny.”
Kirkus Reviews

“With evocative and compelling prose, Andrew Miller’s If Only The Names Were Changed melds the personal and the political, first-hand introspection on mental illness and drug abuse with poetic digressions and anti-authoritarian screeds.”
Eric-Eliza Wood Obenauf, co-publisher of Two Dollar Radio

“Andrew Miller’s If Only the Names Were Changed is the immensity of self turned into sharp, dangerous literature.”
Gabino Iglesias, author of Zero Saints

“Unflinchingly honest, Andrew Miller’s stories are akin to Francis Bacon portraiture. Mixed in with all of life’s brutality and banality are moments of astounding beauty that echo the angelic opening to Damien Rice’s song It Takes A Lot To Know A Man.”
Scott Navicky, author of Humboldt: Or, the Power of Positive Thinking

“Politics, religion, sexuality, society and psychology: Miller is unapologetic and brutally honest, galloping through it all at such a speed as will leave you breathless. There are moments when he is almost unforgivingly intellectual, moments of thunderous untempered rage and moments of poetic sublime.”
Emily Ruck Keene, editor of Paris Lit Up

You Must Know This

You Must Know This is a touching collection of poems and photos about family and modern life. –IndieReader

Words about injustice, revolution, dreams, and love. Boris Pasternak wrote that we must remain alive, loving and creating and dreaming, while we continue our struggle for a just and equitable society. The private life is not dead, it breathes through the lips of those moments between – between work, between activism, between incarceration, between birth and death.

You Must Know This began its life as a private collection of poems titled “Gail You Must Know This” shared between the author-photographer and his wife. With the inclusion of several more politically aware pieces, this expanded collection aims to capture both the bookends and the betweens of our lives.

As Leon Trotsky once wrote, “Generally speaking, art is an expression of man’s need for an harmonious and complete life, that is to say, his need for those major benefits of which a society of classes has deprived him. That is why a protest against reality, either conscious or unconscious, active or passive, optimistic or pessimistic, always forms part of a really creative piece of work. Every new tendency in art has begun with rebellion.”

Very rarely do I (or many creative writers) get paid for the essays, stories, poems or photographs that have been published, so any donation to keep this going is greatly appreciated. If you are interested in a specific photo, or commissioning either a piece of writing or a photograph, I’m happy to oblige. Just get in touch and we can figure it out together. Thank you!
