Poetry. Ian Hatcher's PROSTHESIS is a poetry collection infused with the syntax of source code and the cadences of machinic speech, concerned with the question of where the apparatus ends and the body begins. Published by Poor Claudia along with a parallel set of recordings of performances by the author. "Flooded with voices not its own, with flows of information and code both seductive and alienating, the multitudinous 'I' speaking from within PROSTHESIS addresses us tenderly, beseechingly, grappling with felt loss, with immersive gain, both of which overwhelm as wave after wave of irreversible feedback expand the entrapping and enabling network, itself a prosthesis for us all." Stephanie Strickland "Ian Hatcher has always understood that there is no life or language without prosthesis, and he is wonderful in his ability to make prosthetic beauty in language, for us, his listening readers. Every day our language is being transfigured by processes and devices enjoined to us and running in our bodies, minds, and memories. Hatcher knows, feels, and makes these processes his writing." John Cayley "These test pattern/text pattern works perform their constructions/deconstructions of the communicative structures of contemporary poetic practice in acts of (un) making that are sensually rich and intellectually provocative. Be sure to look at these works and listen to Hatcher's performances to sense their timings and shaped rhythms, their staccato repetitions, combinatoric sequences, algorithmic arrays, and their elegant dissections of traditional poetic forms." Johanna Drucker"

Amputation in Literature and Film: Artificial Limbs, Prosthetic Relations, and the Semiotics of “Loss” explores the many ways in which literature and film have engaged with the subject of amputation. The scholars featured in this volume draw upon a wide variety of texts, both lesser-known and canonical, across historical periods and language traditions to interrogate the intersections of disability studies with social, political, cultural, and philosophical concerns. Whether focusing on ancient texts by Zhuangzi or Ovid, renaissance drama, folktales collected by the Brothers Grimm, novels or silent film, the chapters in this volume highlight the dialectics of “loss” and “gain” in narratives of amputation to encourage critical dialogue and forge an integrated, embodied understanding of experiences of impairment in which mind and body, metaphor and materiality, theory and politics are considered as interrelated and interacting aspects of disability and ability.

‘Prosthesis’ denotes a rhetorical ‘addition’ to a pre-existing ‘beginning’, a ‘replacement’ for that which is ‘defective or absent’, a technological mode of ‘correction’ that reveals a history of corporeal and psychic discontent. Recent scholarship has given weight to these multiple meanings of ‘prosthesis’ as tools of analysis for literary and cultural criticism. The study of pre-modern prosthesis, however, often registers as an absence in contemporary critical discourse. This collection seeks to redress this omission, reconsidering the history of prosthesis and its implications for contemporary critical responses to, and uses of, it. The book demonstrates the significance of notions of prosthesis in medieval and early modern theological debate, Reformation controversy, and medical discourse and practice. It also tracks its importance for imaginings of community and of the relationship of self and other, as performed on the stage, expressed in poetry, charms, exemplary and devotional literature, and as fought over in the documents of religious and cultural change. Interdisciplinary in nature, the book engages with contemporary critical and cultural theory and philosophy, genre theory, literary history, disability studies, and medical humanities, establishing prosthesis as a richly productive analytical tool in the pre-modern, as well as the modern, context. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Textual Practice journal.

Foreword Children: Difference Makers Easton LaChappelle Who is Easton LaChappelle? . . . He is the Founder and CEO of Unlimited Tomorrow, a company that creates ultra-personalized advanced prosthetic devices at a fraction of the cost of traditional prosthetics. LaChappelle founded the company along with Tony Robbins in 2014. Everything started about ten years ago. Easton LaChappelle was 14 years old and he was interested in watching YouTube videos in his home in Colorado. They were on how to build robot arms from LEGOs. Play with bricks started new chapter in prosthetics. Today he has his own company which designs low-cost, 3D-printed prosthetic limbs that can be controlled by the user's mind. His business started when an accidental meeting with a disabled girl led him to the path of entrepreneurship. He was in the eighth grade at that time. LaChappelle recalls that at a science fair he met a 7-year-old girl who had an $80,000 prosthetic arm, which he described as "archaic" and offering very little help with her physical needs. He said: "I was shocked to learn how much it costs, especially realizing that she would soon outgrow it and it would become useless at that point," LaChappelle, now 24, told CNN. "I couldn't believe this was the best thing available for her, and that's when I decided to find out how I can create something that provides physical utility." A prosthetic arm, for instance, should help someone complete daily tasks, like eating with utensils or tying shoes laces, he said. Through its appearance, it could also provide "psychological utility," he added, emphasizing the importance of his device's aesthetic [...]

"This collection accomplishes the difficult work of situating the meanings of amputation in their historical contexts, within a gendered and sexual economy organized around shifting power relations. In this way, the book brings a sophisticated analysis rooted in disability studies to the examination of amputation as a signifier and as a material reality." -Sarah E.

A paradigm-shifting collection about disability and desire, recontextualized with an introduction by one of our most provocative contemporary poets. When Jillian Weise wrote The Amputee’s Guide to Sex, it was with the intention of changing the conversation around disability; essentially, she was tired of seeing "cripples" portrayed as asexual characters. The collection that resulted is a powerful lesson in desire, the body, pain, and possession. These poems interrogate medical language and history, imagine Mona Lisa in a wheelchair, rewrite Elizabeth Bishop’s poem "In the Waiting Room," address a lover’s arsonist ex-girlfriend, and show the prosthesis as the object of male curiosity and lust. Publishers Weekly, in a starred review, called the book a “charged and daring debut” and described Jillian Weise as an "agile and powerful poet . . . speaking boldly and compassionately about a little-discussed subject that becomes universal in her careful hands." In the years since its first publication, our culture continues to grapple with questions limned in this collection. In a new introduction, Weise revisits and recontextualizes her work, revealing its urgency to our present moment. What are the challenges of speaking "for" a community? How to resist the institutionalization of ableist paradigms? How are atypical bodies silenced? Where do our corporeal selves intersect with our technologies?
