  Chosen by the American Library Association as a 2012 Notable Book in Poetry.

  Beauty is a Verb is a ground-breaking anthology of disability poetry, essays on disability, and writings on the poetics of both. Crip Poetry. Disability Poetry. Poems with Disabilities. This is where poetry and disability intersect, overlap, collide and make peace.

  BEAUTY IS A VERB] is going to be one of the defining collections of the 21st century...the discourse between ability, identity & poetry will never be the same. --Ron Silliman, author of In The American Tree

  This powerful anthology succeeds at intimately showing...disability through the lenses of poetry. What emerges from the book as a whole is a stunningly diverse array of conceptions of self and other."--Publishers Weekly, starred review

  
  

  From Beauty and Variations by Kenny Fries:

  
  

  How else can I quench this thirst? My lips
  travel down your spine, drink the smoothness

  of your skin. I am searching for the core:
  What is beautiful? Who decides? Can the laws

  of nature be defied? Your body tells me: come
  close. But beauty distances even as it draws

  me near. What does my body want from yours?
  My twisted legs around your neck. You bend

  me back. Even though you can't give the bones
  at birth I wasn't given, I let you deep inside.

  You give me--what? Peeling back my skin, you
  expose my missing bones. And my heart, long

  before you came, just as broken. I don't know who
  to blame. So each night, naked on the bed, my body

  doesn't want repair, but longs for innocence. If
  innocent, despite the flaws I wear, I am beautiful.
