Summary note

An anthology of approximately 40 contributions from authors living with mental illness and/or physical disability. In autobiographical and fictional pieces, poems, vignettes, images and sounds, the authors use self-determined words and signs for themselves and the world to explore their bodies, perceptions, and feelings. Some contributions celebrate connections between self, nature, and others. Some describe personal experience in the face of multiple obstacles and barriers thrown up by the outside world. Others explore neurodiversity and disability in the context of oppressions such as racism and transphobia. All of the pieces provide a window to loving, empowering, poetic, humorous, angry and tender new ways of seeing the world.
