Disability Poetics
Poetry of Liberation
This collection, curated by Jennifer Bartlett and Sheila Black, explores disability in modern and contemporary poetry. In their introduction, they write,
Disability poetics speaks powerfully because it articulates the resistance of bodies and minds to the erasure, commodification, convenience, and disposability articulated all around us and that we struggle against. In this collection, we mean to resist.
