Experience the newest poetry collections from Latif Askia Ba and Rob Macaisa Colgate, two poets whose disability poetics expand imagined possibilities of form, meaning, and embodiment. In Ba’s The Choreic Period (Milkweed, 2025), Ba braids tenderness, humor, and musicality that dances his readers through the pages. Each poem becomes a practice of reclamation and letting go. Ba’s groundbreaking work encourages and inspires us all to speak, and speak loudly. Colgate’s Hardly Creatures (Tin House, 2025), experiments with form and language by ushering us through an accessible art gallery. Colgate intertwines accessibility symbols with markers of modern life (pop culture, social media, etc), and the power of queer love and friendships with a strikingly new and original voice.
