Another bit of poetry for this evening.
The collection tackles subjects surrounding the theme of race and deafness. The things unsaid but heard loudly throughout society. If you're listening. Or if you can read the signs.
The other day I heard twitter is introducing a voice tweet feature and I'm not sure why, but my first thought was... That's a shame really. If it takes off, there's a lot of users who won't be able to engage with it.
A lot of the world isn't geared towards the hard of hearing, but twitter is. A lot of social media is. In the same way it isn't suited to people with visual issues. Everything we do is done from our particular perspective and we often leave out people who differ in their own ways. It pays to remember that.
Particular favourites in the collection were Jamaican British and Dear Hearing World. For those alone, pick up this collection. It's a worthy addition to any bookshelf.
