Audiotext: Disability Can Save Your Life

Kenny’s audiotext, “Disability Can Save Your Life,” is written in a hybrid form, between poem and essay, a collage also including a brief passage from In the Province of the Gods, as well as references to other related history, including the killing of the disabled in the Nazi Aktion T4 program. Though the piece was written in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and, on the surface, it is about the uncertainty and danger of these times, it is also about misunderstandings of what constitutes a disabled life, misunderstandings that are a pandemic of its own. “Disability Can Save Your Life” is dedicated to Stacey Park, DJSC disability activist, who died of non-COVID-related causes on May 19, her 33rd birthday.


Kenny Fries makes dazzling connections between the most intimate details and the most sweeping panoramas, and left me changed by his insights.
