Behind Our Eyes:\u00a0A Second Look<\/em><\/p>\n

What makes us different? What makes us the same? What do writers with disabilities think about?<\/p>\n

They think and write about the same things as writers without disabilities. Kate Chamberlin, the editor
\nof Behind Our Eyes: A Second Look<\/em>, has assembled a wonderful anthology of prose and poetry that captivates as well as instructs.<\/p>\n

Here are stories about personal loss and personal triumph. New insights abound. All the emotions are represented, from fear and loss to blessings and joy. Almost every genre is represented from science fiction to delightful humor. We are treated to biographical sketches as well as fiction\u2014tough reality as well as delightful whimsy.<\/p>\n

Disability is not the center of the writing–it is the triumph that forms the beauty of this work. After all, where do images come from when you are blind?
\nWhat colors do you use? What sounds and rhythms and meters do you measure when you are deaf?<\/p>\n

Images are not formed by the eyes and music is not held only by the sense of hearing\u2026these images are built from all of our senses\u2026these images emanate from our imagination and the center of our mind and being. And remarkably, these writers find the right images to share with us their pain and endurance.<\/p>\n

We are all challenged. There are many challenges that are presented and met in these pages, but it is not the challenges that we remember–it is the indomitable pirit, the strength of the human will, the celebration of life. Although there is pain and bondage, it is the victory that touches us most. As Heather Herschap so elegantly states, \u201cBut God gives me a spirit that sets me free.\u201d<\/p>\n
