Breath and Shadow is a literary journal of disability culture, written and edited exclusively by people with disabilities. In this collection, editor Chris Kuell presents the best writing from the magazine’s first 12 years. This collection of our best essays, poems, and short stories shines a light on the many gifts, ideas, and voices of writers who are disabled and removes many of the hurdles faced in mainstream publications. 100% of the proceeds from the sale of this anthology will go back into Breath and Shadow, allowing us to increase contributor payments and reach a wider and more diverse audience.

Reviews

[Deborah Sheldon · Rating 4 out of 5]

Confronting, honest, raw, ballsy, heart-breaking. (Please note, I have a story in this collection which I'm leaving out of my review.) The essays, stories and poems shine a spotlight on disabilities of all kinds to reveal both ugly and beautiful facets. "I recognise my pride and my shame, sometimes in the same moment." Highly recommended.

Even if I hadn't written for it, I'd still like this (pun intended) accessible compendium of disability culture.
