Poetry Reading

“Hearing each CATA writer’s thoughts and feelings so genuinely expressed is a gift to us all."

CATA’s annual Poetry Reading spotlights the revelatory work of writers with disabilities who hone their skills throughout the year in CATA’s Writer’s Workshop. Hosted in partnership with The Mount, this dynamic event honors the voices of people with disabilities and amplifies a perspective that many people wouldn’t otherwise have the chance to encounter.

i will have wings

by Franny Brown

My body is inside me.
My chest, my heart, air.
I imagine sometimes that
I would fly
like a ball that somebody
threw.
I will have wings
and I will touch the ground.
And fly some more.

i’d like to try

by Scott Thomas

I’m proud
that I did not give up
on true love.

I’m also proud to be an uncle.

I’m scared of
the dark,
of skunks,
of dying, and
of not knowing where people are.

Things I’d like to try include
being famous,
driving a car and
having a family of my own.
