Michael Dillon's 1957 "Poems of Truth" explores spiritual themes from a variety of religious and philosophical traditions in verse and short prose poems. The work continues themes explored in "Self: A Study in Ethics and Endocrinology" while foreshadowing his later move to India to study as a Buddhist monk. His autograph is featured on the last page. Dillon is an important figure in transgender history in part for being the first transsexual to undergo phalloplasty as well as doing much to pave the way for medical transitions for transsexual men and women in the United Kingdom as a physician. —Digital Transgender Archive
