About

Deafness is the lens, not always the subject.

The idea

Most writing about Deaf life is written for hearing people, and it tends to arrive in one of two registers: the medical or the inspirational. Neither sounds like a life.

Deaf Truth Unfiltered is the other thing. It can be funny, serious, personal, observational, investigative, visual or reflective. What holds it together is the point of view, not a topic list.

Every piece is numbered as a Deaf Truth. The numbering is the point. The barriers do not stop at a total.
