A review by tyler_j
Cripple Poetics by Neil Marcus, Petra Kuppers

emotional

5.0

 Beautiful, emotional, touching, engaging. All words i'd describe this poetry book with. It's a love story between two disabled people. It explores disability culture, activism, disability rights, history, disabled bodies. As a disabled person myself so much of it spoke directly to me and I couldn't help but cry. I took my sweet old time with it, not because it was bad, but because I wanted to sit with the words, digest them, and savor them. Even just typing this now, nearly a day after finishing it, I got tears in my eyes again.

Suffice it to say, i'd highly recommend this book. And here are some other reviews/background information/dialogue with the authors http://eliclare.com/disability/cripple-poetics
