Description
Adults in their 20s share their real experiences living with disability. This collection of first-person narratives and dialogues is grouped into sections pertaining to different aspects of the writers’ lives, including education and work, family and relationships, health and wellness, self-image and sexual relations. Between Myself and Them is a rich and diverse set of stories that challenges the homogeneous interpretation of a very diverse group of people who, when grouped together as "the disabled", lose their individuality. A valuable resource for families, educators, libraries, community groups, and health and wellness professionals.
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.
