Zoeglossia Poem of the Week Series:

Curated by Su Zi

I see this project as a digital anthology, and am very pleased to contribute this chapter.

I invited people—none of whom i know in the physical world—to contribute based upon their work; i try to follow disabled writers on various social media platforms, I invited people whose work I liked for its strength.

I must here comment about how the disability community is especially beleaguered now, as I write during Poetry Month of Year Four Covid. I shall not enumerate here the plethora of oppressions we face, as some of us face mortal threat. I shall reiterate what i told these authors: here is a chance to be heard, somehow, to be read—my thanks on all of our behalf to the forces that are making this happen.

Also, my thanks to all authors here for their generous sharing of their work.
