Abstract
Since the meeting of poets Allen Ginsberg and Robert Panara at the National Institute for the Deaf in 1984 a new Deaf poetics has emerged. The centrality of the image as the essence of poetry is the focus both of ASL poems and of the international poetry community. A series of performances by ASL poets and other activities linking poets have provided new data to support the universal, i.e. poetic, phase through which language operates.Keywords
