I’ve been getting to know another Deaf blogger named Deb Ann. Recently, she wrote a poem on her blog and invited me to read it. Innocent Deaf.

Deaf people can write and enjoy poetry. I remember writing poems in my creative writing classes. A few got published in newsletters but it’s been ages. Still, I enjoy reading poetry. In fact, one of my cherished favorites is Dante Alighieri’s The Inferno, part I of Divine Comedy.

American Sign Language users who blog or vlog, do not merely tell about their lives or issues; some have more creative outlets. Poetry, videos of them signing poetry or story, art, and much more. If you visit DeafRead.com’s Art and Storytelling category, you can see a listing of creative works as well.

Speaking of creative works, I think we need some more exposure to Deaf Art, so I will highlight a few in the next blog posts.
