Articulations - Henrietta Bollinger
A well-known writer, activist, and disability rights advocate, Henrietta Bollinger’s debut essay collection speaks to their experiences as a queer, disabled person, and as a twin. Articulations is a timely, personal, and poignant appraisal of life in Aotearoa New Zealand. Soundtracked by the Topp Twins, Anika Moa, Woody Guthrie and more, Bollinger’s essays take us on a journey from first crushes and first periods to parliamentary reform and Disability Pride. They challenge the norms of our ableist society, asking us to consider better ways of being with each other and ourselves.
“I love the sense of “crip community” threaded through this book, and the insightful and frank exploration of growing up disabled, with thoughtful political commentary neatly interwoven. Living a disabled life in an ableist world is engagingly described with grace, humour and passion, mercifully free from inspiration porn. I finished reading wanting more.” - Robyn Hunt
