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?
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.
