In the late nineteenth century, people were mesmerized by the tales of traversing the Bush Country of Australia as told meticulous detail by a deaf poet named Henry Lawson. In this collection of verses, poet Curtis Robbins-who is himself deaf-shares a tale of a group whom very few hearing people know about or understand.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe poems in this collection present a story told daily among deaf people. They focus on the details and moment-to-moment experiences of what it's like to be a normal deaf person. Robbins explores the conflicts faced among deaf people, with hearing people, and on our own. He examines the inhibitions and exhibitions that are characteristically ingrained into the lives of deaf people. He also considers the work of deaf Australian poet Henry Lawson, celebrating his legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this collection of verse, Robbins seeks to embellish, ostracize, epitomize, chastise, advocate, and reflect upon his own observations, thoughts, and visions about what it is about being deaf-without ever resorting to be invective but rather exonerating those realities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Curtis Robbins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1491761555\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781491761557\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/10\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.25d","brand":"Curtis Robbins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45896739553535,"sku":"9781491761557","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b35ce54d-9482-40b5-8039-71776aafce70.jpg?v=1721372204","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/in-spite-of-everything-curtis-robbins-9781491761557","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
