Lives Without Words, People Without Language, my second book, moves closer to publication as the subject of languageless begins to surface. The Southern California tour was an inspiring success. At universities and on the radio and in many classes I talked to future and current teachers, doctors, academics and parents who were encouraged to respect our deaf babies instead of mistreat them. Next week, I talk to artists in the film industry about learning visual poetry from the superior world of seeing - the Deaf community.
