Every Place on the Map Is Disabled: Poems and Essays

Stephens, James

<p>Now and then some communities need to pause and ask themselves just where they are now as a people. One of the best ways to find such answers is through poetry being composed right now. What are they saying in their poems? </p><p></p><p>Given the intense media interest in the signing community and the Deaf experience these days, it feels timely to seek out such possible answers from d/Deaf poets sharing their own perspectives. In this anthology, they spotlight the joys and frustrations of the d/Deaf experience with a wide variety of poems and, yes, voices.</p><p></p><p>Charlie Ainsworth * Karen Christie * S.
