"This is a startlingly original collection, challenging readers to
think well beyond normative contours of the literary text toward a
living art of the embodied sign. A significant contribution to
literary, performance, and Deaf culture studies, "Signing the Body
Poetic" will make us all see differently."--Della Pollock, editor
of "Remembering: Oral History Performance"
""Signing the Body Poetic" is both a book and an event--a
long-anticipated work that questions and recasts some of our most
embedded definitions of poetry and other language arts. The work of
several generations of signing poets has made a place for gesture
that eliminates once and for all the hegemony of the spoken word as
the single determinant of poetry and language performance. That is
the accomplishment analyzed and celebrated in these pages and in
the accompanying DVD that clearly shows the work at hand."--Jerome
Rothenberg, coeditor of "Poems for the Millennium: The University
of California Book of Modern and Postmodern Poetry"
""Signing the Body Poetic" is the first major scholarly work to
celebrate and theorize American Sign Language artistic expression,
ranging from poetry to theater and film. A must for anyone
interested in contemporary poetry, drama, or literary
theory."--Lennard J. Davis, editor of "The Disability Studies
Reader"
""Signing the Body Poetic" brings new and productive dimensions to
the phrase 'body of literature.' This impressive collection details
the aesthetics, the epistemological importance, and the cultural
life of American Sign Language literature in clear, accessible
prose. Close analyses of key texts in/as performances are enhanced
by the accompanying DVD, itself aninvaluable resource. This
collection will be useful for scholars and general readers
interested in the complexities of literary production and
reception."--Judith Hamera, author of "Opening Acts" and editor of
"The Sage Handbook of Performance Studies"
"This collection is as unique as ASL, merging linguistics,
nonverbal communication, and performance both in the content of the
chapters and in its form (text and DVD). Unlocking the performative
dimension of ASL, it merges disciplines, communicative forms, and
channels while demonstrating that our ability to communicate is not
limited by the organs we use to do so but only by our ability to
perform."--Michael L. Hecht, coeditor of "Redefining Culture:
Perspectives across the Disciplines"
