Synopsis

A set of thirty poems that challenge the assumption "Disability means Tragedy" -- a view which has dominated Western culture for over a thousand years. Drawing on the emerging academic fields of Monster Theory and Disability Studies, each of the six chapters examines disability through a different lens, including literature, medicine, history, and social expectations.
