We're all sort of eachother's fantasies. I am my own trans temporal fantasy. And in crossing time I give rise to other identities. Therefore visions of self and other have no inherent reality. Our common characteristic is a certain vulnerability to change.

So delighted to announce that today is #PubDay for our book. Every Place on the Map is Disabled is now in stores and available online. Wonderful poets in here including Eli Clare, Ilya Kaminsky, Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha and Raymond Antrobus. #disabilitypoetics #poetry #disability #publishing
A woman’s thumb on the cover of a book titled Every Place on the Map is Disabled. Lavender tassel of a book mark hangs above. Two fists push out into a mountainous territory with the sun rising beyond. A page of poetry. Text reads as follows: VI. Rules had the half-life of ripples so that the encounter of one set with another would hasten the decay as if the pink of the rose were hypercolor and responded to heat in the breath the girl braided her hair into a ring and saved this relic in a wine bottle her mud-encrusted velvet slipper on his desk clock the speed of her river in helicopters a green ribbon attaches the oak to the elm to the birch to the beech across water we will participate in bondings like yeast if letters could form words by mutual attraction god will be there we will play the part the garden will contain violets and impatiens the lexicon will assign value and importance this key will be called sharp will be called flat use ice to kill the body in sections a cool body against a warm body before there was glass insert dance in place of narrative the memory of heat and light in the shell universe and what gives and what pushes and what pushes and gives open open open open open open open enter a procession of women holding candles up the mountain without the women without what is called a woman with an absence at the heart of a life with a life that is life on life life life

Feeling like some kind of crip scholar today. Here’s the update.
#disabilty #disabilitypoetics
Photo of woman in glasses with blue lipstick. Text reads: Not enough is said about crip-centricity and crip-centric realities. Like... you're at home all the time so you just start creating your own reality. You play characters, you put yourself in different times and spaces. You invent locations and temporalities. You become the one who invents.

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.)

I have a special place in my heart for people who talk to me after I’m done writing a poem. I don’t know what day of the week it is, what time of day it is, or even who I’m talking to.

That’s how total my commitment is. But also I’m neurocrip: I can’t do it any other way.

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.
