"This innovative book/DVD, dedicated to the multidisciplinary study in literature as well as comparative and ASL literature, offers the first comprehensive analysis of the body of work created in ASL. This collection of essays from storytellers, poets, performers and linguists revolutionizes ASL literature. ASL literature is shown in its original form, presented in a way that makes the work accessible to both non-signers and signers alike. It expands the scope of the visual and performing arts, literary criticism, and comparative literature."
