the darkness was a necessary phase in the cycle of change

About the Author

Michelle Goñi, MD uses the written word as a powerful voice for her soul. She was raised by an immigrant, Renaissance-like, often stoic father who labeled her creativity as distracting. His rigid parenting and control led Michelle to a limited and perfectionist mindset.

We learn about Dr. Goñi’s life in Roses and Thorns, her debut book of prose poetry, where she shares personal yet relatable truths, struggles, and realizations. This unique presentation invites the reader to embrace vulnerability and self-love. Michelle’s words evoke deep emotion within ourselves, empathy for one another, and necessary self-acceptance. Dr Goñi is a Diagnostic Radiologist. She has worked from her home office as a Teleradiologist since 2005 after completing her subspecialty in Musculoskeletal Imaging.
