Poet John Lee Clark's Unique Approach to Poetry and Representation of Disability

John Lee Clark, a deaf-blind poet, utilizes unique techniques in his poetry to challenge traditional canons and misconceptions around disability in literature. Through erasure and references to sign language syntax, Clark's work highlights the nuances of language and representation, particularly in contrast to the hearing canon. His protactile version of Tintern Abbey embodies a profound exploration of the connection between landscape, disability, and poetic expression.
