An anthology of poetry by American poets with disabilities—including but not limited to aphasia due to stroke, blindness, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, and deafness—interspersed with essays related to the theme of how disability poetry has evolved on a macro and micro level, i.e., collective disability poetry and personally, for some disabled individuals. Some of the poets featured: Larry Eigner (cerebral palsy; d. 1996), Tom Andrews (hemophiliac); Vassar Miller (cerebral palsy; d. show more 1998); Robert Fagan, Josephine Miles (nearly lifelong crippling rheumatoid arthritis), Lucia Perillo (multiple sclerosis), Jim Ferris (fragmenting femur in one leg), *Kenny Fries (missing bones in both legs), *Petra Kuppers (wheelchair). Some of this poetry was beautiful; some of it did not grab me at all. show less
