PUNK GOSPEL IS A BODY OF WORK
Memoirs that defy erasure and rise from the bones.
It begins with THE BONES I DIDN’T BURY: A Punk Gospel in Seven Parts. Structured around the vision of the prophet Ezekiel’s Valley of Dry Bones, THE BONES I DIDN’T BURY is a prophetic memoir of survival, motherhood, and sacred defiance. Raw, reverent, and cinematic, it carries readers through seven movements—from the valley to the rising—blending neurosurgery, disability advocacy, and the haunting choreography of faith.
This is only the first prophecy. Punk Gospel is the movement to come.
THE AUTHOR
KRISTIN DILLON is a writer, advocate, and former global photography director whose career spanned more than a decade shaping visual expression for major travel brands. After surviving neurosurgery and a corporate layoff in the same season, she turned to writing as testimony—where survival, motherhood, and justice collide.
She is the founder of It Can’t Be Zero, a disability equity initiative invoking rights to extracurricular access for disabled children. Her work has catalyzed policy reform, shaped inclusive programming, and redefined how institutions witness disabled children.
Her voice—what she calls “punk gospel”—fuses memoir, myth, and manifesto, turning systemic critique into prophecy with mercy.
She lives in Detroit with her husband and their son whose joyful resilience shapes the rhythm of her days and the architecture of her work.
The Bones I Didn’t Bury is her first book.
THE VISION
Punk Gospel is more than one book.
It’s a body of work that blends memoir, prophecy, and cultural reckoning. Beginning with Bones, it expands into movements like It Can’t Be Zero, Autism Origins, and beyond—works that insist survival itself can be sacred testimony.
