I’m so excited to announce that two of my erasure poems have just been published by The Cincinnati Review as a special online feature!
This is part of a new series of erasures, where I examine ableism – how our society is built for and defaults to people who are able bodied – in texts. Specifically, these two erasures look at students in special education.
As the editors at The Cincinnati Review say, these “speak to the violence of ‘normality’ on the disabled body,” how being labeled as different and flawed controls and removes the voices of those who are considered disabled.
