Poetry by Jennifer Bartlett. 56 pages.

From PREFACE by Robert Grenier:

Jennifer Bartlett 'makes the case'/ testifies to all the actual crap that being born with cerebral palsy entitles her to experience, and what life has been like/is like in contemporary America for her--given her lot--and then, in the second part of the book ('despite the facts') turns round and Celebrates Her Existence anyway: AWAY WITH ALL THAT ! she cries, petulantly and determinatively (waves her arm), and devotes the 'other half of the book' to her ordinary interested investigations/explorations of what is going on & necessary in her daily life in Brooklyn/New York, as if she were a real/actual/'extraordinary' sentient being (like everybody in a body) determined to 'understand' and attempt to 'know the whole of it'/what each can know from the 'absolute perspective' of each one's own organism.
