“The Way Disabled People Love Each Other”: In conversation with Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarsinha

What can love look like when you’re disabled — and how do you write about grief when the crisis is still ongoing? In this episode of Still Here, hosts Miles Griffis and Betsy Ladyzhets sit down with poet, author, and disability justice organizer Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarsinha to discuss their new poetry collection, The Way Disabled People Love Each Other.
Leah shares how the book came to be, what it means to document pandemic grief in a pandemic that never ended, and the beauty, pain, and joy of disabled love.
