Can anyone think of a paragraph or so from someone with an illness about why they write about their experience of illness? Drawing a blank! 🫠

Y’all know of any poetry venues still offering VIRTUAL events? (open mics, slams, workshops, co-writing spaces, etc.)

This flopped on my personal, so I’ll ask here. I want to submit my gastroparesis themed chapbook to a contest, but want another set of eyes on it first. It’s about 25pgs. Would be willing to read/offer critiques on your work in exchange!

I wish more poetry books were accessible in ebook. I asked to pay for an ecopy of a disability poetry book this year from the publisher, and the publisher was like 🥰no🥰. Some indie publishers don't make room for accessibility. Big ones do because they want my disabled dollars.

On Sun 23 Oct, @HodgsonWrites & @pollyrowena lead a digital workshop for writers who identify as disabled. We will explore the body and mind through the lens of disability poetics, looking at ways to write about living with illness and death.

This. When I became chronically ill and disabled, it was poetry that helped me navigate the depression, anxiety, grief, loss, and despair.
