See Us, Know Us; Profiles of Disability: Book Launch Party
Join us to celebrate the launch of See Us, Know Us; Profiles of Disability by Jennifer Chassman Browne, Certified Listener Poet Cohort 10. This event is free and open to all.
This book contains profiles of 30 people with disabilities (one of them another Certified Listener Poet alum!). Each profile contains a portrait, a narrative biography, and an origin story and poem.
When: Thursday, October 22 at 4pm Pacific / 7pm Eastern Time
Where: Zoom link shared with registration
Upon stepping into these stories, readers will be captivated and feel connected. As well, they will learn so much about the lives, joys, and challenges of those living with disabilities. Readers will leave with a desire to create a world that is more accepting and inclusive; a world in which all feel that they belong.
Jenn will be reading from the book as well as describing her motivation for writing this book and answering questions about the book and the contents. The book will be available for purchase, and half of the proceeds from book sales through this event will be donated by Jenn to The Good Listening Project, supporting our work to bring compassionate presence and transformative poetry into healthcare and community spaces.
We hope you'll join us for this special evening!
