“This vital gathering of creative and critical works returns to the essential questions, practices, and affirmations that were initiated with Beauty Is a Verb: The New Poetry of Disability. With this anthology the circle is widened, bringing a stunning array of intersectional writing that celebrates the essential stories from the community about love, grief, beauty, anger, and survival while also advocating for what is just and what is necessary. The works within challenge expectation and rejoice in possibility. The work of the creators and makers collected in this volume is absolutely essential in these times.” —Oliver de la Paz, author of The Diaspora Sonnets“Expansive, full of beauty and surprises. The profound impact which Disability Poetics has on literature is clear throughout this anthology, which continues and diversifies the work of Beauty is a Verb: The New Poetry of Disability.” —Kenny Fries, award-winning author of In the Province of the Gods and curator of the Disability Poetics video series “Most of us have long avoided the truth so plainly and beautifully shared in the essays and poems inside Every Place on the Map is Disabled. Put simply, most of us will one day be disabled. To avoid this truth is to forfeit the power, intimacy, fear, and fortitude so expertly rendered by these authors. If every place on the the map is indeed disabled, I offer a deep bow to the complex and divine cartography of this book.” —Sonya Renee Taylor, author of The Body is Not an Apology: The Power of Radical Self Love
