A pair of bay ponies bonded beyond this lifetime. A circus horse
tortured but resilient. A gelding damaged by ignorance but still
willing to love. A Percheron cross with a healing touch. These
horses and others have taught the author about how to be a human
being, and their stories, simply told, will enrich the life of any

When Myron Coloney ran away from a cruel stepmother, he didn't
realize that he was about to become woven into the fabric of
American history. Compiled and narrated by his
great-great-granddaughter, this is a look at Myron and his wife
Josephine, who played small but pivotal roles in great events.
The majority of research and writing about visual impairment is
influenced by medical models of understanding, and is usually
undertaken by sighted experts about those who are visually
impaired. Songs at Twilight takes a different stance and uses a
collaborative narrative methodology to enable the author, who is
visually impaired, and thirty contributors, who are also visually
impaired, to explore their experiences of living with a visual
impairment and the effect this has had on their claims to identity.
The dynamic research process is shown as a social construction of
lived experience where questions of identity are addressed through
conversation and narrative. Sighted assumptions about blindness are
challenged as the author and contributors discuss aspects of
diagnosis and treatment, education, employment, societal attitudes
towards blindness, relationships, treatment possibilities,
emotional support (including counselling) and emancipatory research
practices.
