A Quiet Foghorn: More Notes from a Deaf Gay Life - Paperback
by Raymond Luczak (Author)
In this collection of essays, Raymond Luczak once again offers readers powerful and deeply personal reflections on his experiences as a Deaf gay man. He begins his journey with the printed word where lipreading is not required, and discovers a family of sorts through the writings of Walt Whitman and others; he ventures deeper into the queer community with thoughts on ageism, disability, and radical faeries. Luczak explores the many nuances within the Deaf community and the audist attitudes of hearing people, particularly in the media, and takes a detour into ASL gloss poetry. He speculates on what the Deaf community will look like a century from now and ends with a long bike ride that celebrates the ongoing questions of being a Deaf gay man.
Raymond Luczak is the author and editor of more than twenty books, including Assembly Required: Notes from a Deaf Gay Life; QDA: A Queer Disability Anthology; Flannelwood: A Novel; Compassion, Michigan: The Ironwood Stories; and once upon a twin: poems. He currently edits the literary journal Mollyhouse. An inaugural Zoeglossia Fellow, Luczak lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
