Essays in this Issue

In an effort to encourage dialogue about disability poetry, Wordgathering is expanding its selection of literary essays. In this issue you will find:

• Jim Ferris, Crip Poetry, or How I Learned to Love the Limp
• Carmen Papalia, Caning in the City
• Kathi Wolfe, Helen Keller: Obsession and Muse

Also of interest to those who enjoy literary essays is a review of Petra Kuppers collection of essays, Disability Culture Poetry.

If any of these essays spark you to react with original work of your own, we would like to hear from you. Feedback about the essays that you read here helps the editors to make decisions about selections for future issues. Please send your comments to comments@wordgathering.com.
