DISABILITY INTIMACY Essays on Love, Care, and Desire

This fascinating collection of voices from the disabled community is presented with care by a talented team of narrators. In her introduction to these 40 powerfully affecting essays, activist Alice Wong, who edited this volume, stresses the value of seeking and exploring intimacy. Each essay opens a window that may contain familiar elements or, perhaps, a novel mode of expression. Most impressive are this production's precise audio descriptions of images included in the print edition. While nearly every essay is exquisitely rendered and narrated, standouts include Stephanie Gould and Nancy Wu's poignant narration of "Igniting Our Power by Reclaiming Intimacy," Carmen Jewel Jones's stirring evocation of "Disabled Queer Love Exists," and Danielle Morsberger's heartbreakingly vulnerable performance of "Rosasharon Teaches Me to Breathe."
