This was a really powerful collection to read, in its unabashed love for disabled community, its careful use of an approachable poetry format, and its political and historical power. I think Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha captured a lot of my feelings in their short essay "Untranslatable Crip: Laura Hershey's Poetic Labor to Build Crip Power," where they highlight the grief but also distinctly crip comfort that can come in finding another disabled writer's work after their death, with a longing for a community that could include us all, alive and in poetics and in resistance at the same time.
