Allison Blevins will discuss her book "Handbook for the Newly Disabled".
Allison Blevins’ lyric memoir, Handbook for the Newly Disabled, is a whirlwind of stunning and startling reflections on the body, disability, memory and motherhood. “What is left in my body to confess?,” she asks. Those of us who have lived with chronic pain and illness will find ourselves understanding all too well. Those who haven’t will gain new insights into what a disabled life can feel like.
Book will be available for sale and signing following the event.
Allison Blevins is a poet and publisher who writes confessional free verse poetry and finds inspiration in both traditional and pop culture. She writes to confess her sins and connect with a world she feels largely disconnected from as a neurodiverse person and one with a physical disability. She uses hybrid techniques to open the boundaries of free verse. Her work lives in a space between poetry, flash nonfiction and abstract art.
