To celebrate Disability Pride Month check out one of these books from our collection.
Beauty is a Verb: The New Poetry of Disability is a collection of poetry written by poets with physical disabilities. The collection is divided into four sections Early Voices, The Disability Poetics Movement, Lyricism of the Body, and Towards a New Language of Embodiment.
Year of the Tiger: An Activist's Life by Alice Wong is a memoir made up of a collection of Wong's essays and interviews, some previously published. Wong focuses on the challenges she has faced as a member of the disabled community living in a world built for able-bodied people. She also ties in her childhood as a daughter of Chinese immigrants. Wong became a disability rights activist and founded the Disability Visibility Project, whose mission is to amplify disabled artists and their works in media.
