Dr Kim Moore One small thing fests can do is make sure their festival hashtags are in camel case! So the hashtag above would be like this #MakePoetryAccessible , so the beginning of each new word is capitalised. This makes sure that screenreaders can differentiate between each word!

Name & tag all of your favourite Disabled Poets below please. New & Emerging as well as Established, please.

I want to follow and build a community, its something I've wished could be a 'thing' more & more whilst shielding

I'm going to create a list (and will share the link) :)

Without accessibility, my book wouldn’t be heading to a Waterstones near you 💜

THREAD: As far as we know, we are the first festival to ask all of our poets and performers to screenshare any written material during events. This is so that deaf and hard of hearing poets in our community can access our events. We have had some complaints that some people

TL;DR?

#MakePoetryAccessible . DO THE WORK.

Again, I'd not have encountered Nafeesa if it wasn't for KendalPoetryFestival, so they get another nod. Go to festivals if you can, people, especially those who make the time and effort to allow you to do so from the comfort of your own computer screen. #MakePoetryAccessible

All that poetry
all those images
of words
not a single one
has alt-text

not good enough

#MakePoetryAccessible

Looking forward to this tomorrow night on zoom #GoToThePoets screen sharing of poems and otter captions #MakePoetryAccessible

I’m still actively adding to this huge list of d/disabled poets!

If you’re an organiser, please do click on the list and follow it.

Let’s start addressing the fact that D/Disabled people make up 20% of the population, but only 2% of workers in publishing.

In our #LeedsStanza poetry book group accessibility is very important & a priority. For example - what online system are we using & what is best for members who attend who are hard of hearing or d/Deaf. Let’s commit to #MakePoetryAccessible

As usual chatting with Dr Kim Moore about how to #MakePoetryAccessible when the AI captions might try to replicate the sounds of the ice!? We plan to make a document of Katrina's words available during the performance so that you can read along as we go.

Penned in the Margins #MakePoetryAccessible

The work to #MakePoetryAccessible is so important, and more than a week later I'm still reflecting on the talks and testimonies given at KendalPoetryFestival's 'Where To Next?' Continuing to have these conversations, reflect & adjust our approaches as we listen is important and vital.

'Open the Door' is a free resource by KendalPoetryFestival exploring what the pandemic taught the poetry community. We're looking forward to the online launch event on 26 May! #MakePoetryAccessible Dr Kim Moore Clare Shaw
