What happens when you put Eli Clare and Ellen Samuels, two disabled oracles, in conversation? Actual magic. This spring, Eli and Ellen are both releasing new books, and they’re sharing them with the DCC community! Eli’s new book, “Unfurl: Survival, Sorrows, and Dreaming,” is a queer disabled love song to trees and beavers, tremors and dreams. Ellen’s new poetry collection, “Your Body Should Be a Part of the World,” is a meditation on chronic illness, survival, and community that moves between the intimate space of the sickroom and the messy persistence of nature. We can’t wait to explore the overlap in their work, the pockets between, and the joy of creative relationships. This event is made possible by Alice Wong and the Disability Visibility Project.
