"Disabled writers are my favourite people: we are fluid, and adaptive, and fierce, and wickedly funny. We know how to turn words into weapons, but more importantly we know how to do the opposite, to take the sting out of slurs."
Poet Robin M Eames will be appearing in Melbourne in A Raven, A Writing Desk on Thursday 20 June and Disability Poetics, a panel at the National Writers Conference (22–23 June). Tickets on sale now.

My absolute favourite thing in the whole world is hanging out with other wheelchair users. There is something conspiratorial about this particular joy, something brazen about how much space we take up...Apologies to anyone trying to access our website at the moment - we appear to be having some trouble with it! We will have it back up and running as soon as we can. Thank you for your patience!
One week and $4,178 to go to reach our fundraising goal!
