"Deaf Poets Society: for
Writers with Disabilities"
by Corinne Segal
Deaf Poets Society, a new digital literary magazine, has a
message for writers with disabilities: We see you. We want you
to be here. And this is your space.
Writer Sarah Katz, the magazine's founder, grew up in North
Potomac, Maryland, and attended a school with a program for
students who were deaf or hard of hearing. "I had grown up
around other deaf and hard of hearing people and took for
granted that I had easy access to other people like me," she
said.
That wasn't the case at the University of Maryland, College
Park, where Katz said she was the "only deaf student I knew."
As a young writer, she began seeking out the disability
community and went on to earn an MFA in poetry from
American University
