"Beauty is a Verb is the first of its kind: a high-quality anthology of poetry by American poets with physical disabilities. Poems and essays alike consider how poetry, coupled with the experience of disability, speaks to the poetics of each poet included. The collection explores first the precursors whose poems had a complex (and sometimes absent) relationship with disability, such as Vassar Miller, Larry Eigner, and Josephine Miles. It continues with poets who have generated the Crip Poetics Movement, such as Petra Kuppers, Kenny Fries, and Jim Ferris. Finally, the collection explores the work of poets who don't necessarily subscribe to the identity of "crip-poetics" and have never before been published in this exact context. These poets include Bernadette Mayer, Rusty Morrison, Cynthia Hogue, and C.S. Giscombe. The book crosses poetry movements--from narrative to language poetry--and speaks to and about a number of disabilities including cerebral palsy, deafness, blindness, multiple sclerosis, and aphasia due to stroke, among others"--… (altro)
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. 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. ( )
