Editorial Reviews

Review
The reader becomes a collaborator with Kuppers and Marcus in the creation of disability art and culture in the process of experiencing this book. With no linear narrative to guide the reader, one is invited to fill in the gaps, explore the nuances of the various literary and cultural allusions, enter into their debate the use of the word cripple, and argue about the poetics of disability art and culture. The reader must continually make choices about how, literally, to read the poetry. --Carrie Sandahl, Disability Studies Quarterly, Fall 2009, Volume 29, No.1

Product Description
A love story for crip culture! By turns playful, unsettling, raw and moving, Cripple Poetics: A Love Story is an immersive and sensual correspondence that builds and heats by accretion-one keystroke at a time. The dance of courtship is reflected in language that alternately snakes and darts, declares and obfuscates, reminisces and forges-finding freedom within its limitations. Cripple Poetics preserves and unfolds the artifacts of an original and timely love story that might otherwise have remained shrouded in a small, forgotten corner of cyberspace.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review of Cripple Poetics, September 23, 2008
By S. Wilcox (san francisco, ca) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Cripple Poetics documents the romantic correspondence between Kuppers and Marcus through poetry, email, and instant messaging. The multiple and varied forms of communication, coupled with Steichmann's gorgeous black and white photographs, portray a compelling overlap between personal narrative and disability politics. These authors will surely be remembered and celebrated as significant contributors to the rich history of disability arts and culture. Cripple Poetics is an engaging and thought-provoking read. I highly recommend purchasing this book for your friends and loved ones.
