9798992546224: The Importance of Being Feeble-Minded

Synopsis

Nathan Spoon brings the complications of consciousness into view. The question that concerns poets with disabilities--real ones as opposed to the metaphorical--is how do we evolve in this light? In the meantime, the poems in The Importance of Being-Feeble Minded have a toughness about them as if perhaps, the epistemology of disability is a street fight. As readers, we like the fight. I'm reminded of Ernesto Cardinal's utterance: "Life is Subversive."
