Poems
Image description: Sarah performing “They Fall Apart,” her original poem about her experience reading children’s lips on the playground as a deaf child, in a film projected against three walls at Ohio State University. Against the wall to the viewer’s left is her cueing the poem in Cued American English, on the center wall is her signing the poem in American Sign Language, and on the right is her speaking the poem in English. The film was directed by Lydia Cornett; Lydia and Sarah are co-creators of this installation.
