Poems on Inclusion/ Exclusion Written and Performed by 12 Poets

The various poems grapple with race, religion, family, history, unity, deaf culture, sexual identity & community. In a poem that argues with a Biblical verse that has shaped anti-gay sentiment in the wider culture, poet Sarah Antine begins, “The black and white book has so much white space”.
