Between Myself And Them

Stories Of Life With Disability

by Carol Krause

tagged: physical impairments, people with disabilities
Description

Adults in their 20s share their real experiences living with disability, resulting in a rich and diverse set of stories that challenge the homogeneous interpretation of a very diverse group of people who, when we group them together as "the disabled", lose their individuality.

About the Author

Carol Krause is a poet whose uncontainable mind often disrupts her plans. Sometimes this results in joy. Carol’s poetry has appeared in The Fiddlehead, Arc Poetry, and PRISM international, among other publications. A lover of the underworld, Carol feels most alive crawling through caves. A Bouquet of Glass is her first poetry collection. She lives in Toronto.
