RAGING GRACE: Australian Writers Speak Out on Disability

BOOK LAUNCH & READINGS

When your body-mind is in upheaval, or is deemed troublesome, how do you find a way forward? In the shadow of an ecological and social crisis, whose voices do we need to pay attention to? The poems, essays and artworks in this groundbreaking anthology answer both these questions at the same time. Written collaboratively and in conversation, they harness rage and grace to speak back to unhealthy, alienating systems and experiences.

Both prophetic and celebratory, Raging Grace affirms disability and neurodivergence as unique sources of truth telling, and collaboration as a radical model for collective health.
