#CripPoetics
In 2018 I saw Meg Day give a keynote on crip poetics at UPenn. I took strength from that talk last night when defending my work to a critic. (And Ruth Awad is one of the loveliest angels to ever walk the face of the Earth.)

Lovely to receive print copies of my latest essay, “How Disability (re) Invents Poetry” (in SEL @sel1500to1900.bsky.social 64.2).

In a shocking turn of events I am going to be published by Northwestern - and soon! I’m so excited for you to read my essay - well timed, all about the erotics of art and the need for community. My heart will always belong to #DisabiltyPoetics.

My friend Jennifer wrote this super important and under-recognized book on the super important and under-recognized poet Larry Eigner.

Poetry is about getting off the map. And no one is more off the map than crip folks.

I am grateful to have navigated this process with co-editors Camisha Jones, Naomi Ortiz, and Mike Northen, who have thought so deeply about our community and the work we do as disabled writers. It is a joy to be able to celebrate fellow writers who have shaped so much of my work over these years.
