Hi friendly people, if you have a tweet that lies at the intersection of poetry and disability feel free to tag Rest Days for a RT. Let’s amplify this community. 📣

Will all the chronically ill poets say hello and be my friend so I don’t have to feel so fucking low about being a chronically ill poet? Thanks in advance :-D

Has anyone noticed current themed calls for poetry on illness or disability?

Calling all sick/disabled writers, artists, & poets - we are accepting submissions until April 20th! Yes, we pay all contributors! More info at: https://t.co/aw7PckYj6q #chronicillness #disability #disabledwriters

Today’s the day! Submissions are now open for Sunder issue 1 - GATHER. Remember, we accept poetry in whatever form you make it — want to scan and send an empty chip packet with some words on it? We can’t wait to see it. More info here:

Can anyone think of a paragraph or so from someone with an illness about why they write about their experience of illness? Drawing a blank! 🫠

Y’all know of any poetry venues still offering VIRTUAL events? (open mics, slams, workshops, co-writing spaces, etc.)

We're looking for facilitators for our 2023 Writers Salons. Are you a deaf or disabled writer with a book coming out this year? If so we want to hear from you! DM us or contact team@cripticarts.org for more info.

💫poets! i'm interested in making a (non-exhaustive, ever-growing) list of autistic Black poets for personal study. can y'all put me on? who comes to mind?

This flopped on my personal, so I’ll ask here. I want to submit my gastroparesis themed chapbook to a contest, but want another set of eyes on it first. It’s about 25pgs. Would be willing to read/offer critiques on your work in exchange! #WritingCommunity #AmWritingCNF

So excited to be co-running an @arvonfoundation course for D/deaf and/or disabled poets with @mailbykite - registration is open and course runs March 8th - April 5th 2023 https://t.co/saoq0edKiu

I wish more poetry books were accessible in ebook. I asked to pay for an ecopy of a disability poetry book this year from the publisher, and the publisher was like 🥰no🥰. Some indie publishers don't make room for accessibility. Big ones do because they want my disabled dollars.

@RestDays3 I’m happy for this blindness for it’s helped me see much more I focus on life’s beauty now more than I did before #TheBlindPoet

On Sun 23 Oct, @HodgsonWrites & @pollyrowena lead a digital workshop for writers who identify as disabled. We will explore the body and mind through the lens of disability poetics, looking at ways to write about living with illness and death. https://t.co/513YjTtZmm #PlathFest
