Here are two quick snapshots of the eponymous poem of my book ANIMALS OUT-THERE W-I-L-D--one in English and the other in ASL gloss! (The book is published by @unboundedition.bsky.social.)

Today I choose to make a little art by writing a brand-new play for the first time in five years.

First thoughts on @raymondluczak.com's compilation of #deaf writing on dinner table syndrome: #dinnertablesyndrome is often part of a bigger system of family dysfunction Audism is driven by control Learning #ASL is not enough There are a lot of amazing d/Deaf writers I need to read

Merry Merry Merry!

@saintmarty.bsky.social has written a terrific #poetry collection A BIGFOOT BESTIARY AND OTHER WONDERS. This poem first appeared in my anthology #YOOPER POETRY, but it’s also available in his #BIGFOOT book. What follows here is an #ASL translation that I did … youtu.be/D0yFEWtlJdo

In case you want to learn about a VERY tall #Yooper who used to live on the Keweenaw Peninsula (by the age of 9, he was already #tall as any man!) … youtu.be/eVn4JGDPRJg

Oh, look! I’m in the NEW YORK TIMES!!!! www.nytimes.com/2024/12/14/a...

As more of a potential perpetrator than victim of dinner table syndrome, I'm both excited and a little scared to dig in. But I'm happy @raymondluczak.com put together such a great array of #Deaf writers for this project—super important, especially for us parents of #deafkids. #dinnertablesyndrome

Oh, look--another ASL gloss poem in action! “Chipmunk” comes from my book ANIMALS OUT-THERE W-I-L-D: A BESTIARY IN ENGLISH AND ASL GLOSS, published by @unboundedition.bsky.social. (Thanks again to @phoenixdragon1.bsky.social for providing voice and music!) youtu.be/DLBpB4fMBQ0

Hello! I have curated a starter pack of Deaf Artists based on what I have found so far. Please share and support them + their art, especially if they have businesses. This platform is still growing, so the list will expand as more Deaf artists join. #DeafArtist

Just like Julie Andrews waltzing across the hills in the opening scene of THE SOUND OF MUSIC, I am starting to feel a new book coming on …

I keep getting better at adding alt-text and making it part of the rhythm of my online conversations by having this button on. Writing alt-text as my default means that I never forget it and it becomes my normal. Make alt-text your normal!

If you're looking to connect with other Yooper (you know who you are) writers, here's a starter pack to help you get started! go.bsky.app/9YPNyXN

Helllllloooo, everyone! I now have a brand-new ASL gloss poem in action from my book ANIMALS OUT-THERE W-I-L-D (@unboundedition.bsky.social), and @phoenixdragon1.bsky.social contributed his voice and music to my poem called "Strider"! youtu.be/CmehkeqAEUg

@robert-timm.bsky.social welcome!

it doesnt make a single lick of sense for anyone to follow a poet (or any writer) & not even consider purchasing their books - or at least borrowing copies from your local library! go do that shit - as soon as possible! or why even follow? it's not like we'll appt you unqualified to any cabinet.

Here's another ASL gloss poem in action from my latest collection ANIMALS OUT-THERE W-I-L-D, published by @unboundedition.bsky.social: www.youtube.com/watch?v=enut...

It’s been a while since I’ve posted on here. The older I get, the more adverse I become toward (un)social media in general. That said, I acknowledge that more and more people have been migrating here. Welcome!
