Summary:
"This celebration of short stories, poems, and essays gives us a glimpse into the
Deaf
signing community, something that literature by hearing
authors
featuring
deaf
characters has rarely done. Between these covers, a
Deaf
couple fights over their son's language use, an Australian woman joins the community as an adult, a
Deaf
woman's body is fished out a dumpster, and a British
Deaf
poet wants to keep 'zombies'--hearing people--out. The range of perspectives is astonishing, including opposing views. In one story, a hearing journalist tells us about the infamous Milan congress of educators who banned sign language in 1880, while in another story, a
Deaf
woman tells us what it's like to have a hearing journalist interview her and her husband for a 'human interest' story. Even in pieces that are about just one
Deaf
person, readers get a powerful sense of life in one of the most vibrant and least understood communities."--From publisher.
