She doesn't sign, but I am learning to be a competent finger speller.<br /><br />Powerful poems, both of them. And important to hear these voices.Mary Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09078793537148794310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91636461349673530.post-69182335963880279942015-07-12T15:18:57.980-04:002015-07-12T15:18:57.980-04:00These are so powerful.

Each of the people who does it has their own particular style. I had never thought of poetry done in sign, though.

All of us learned some sign so we could give support, but I have lost that facility now. The poem speaks to us who hear with fervor, doesn't it? "You are nothing but paper and ink."

I was fascinated by the idea that all those dots said the same thing I was reading.<br />I am sharing your Swap today, Tabatha!Donna Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13738281869266957726noreply@blogger.com
