Portrait of Val Vera: shot at a 3/4 angle, a man with a dark beard, wearing a grey suit jacket sits in a power chair and looks out the corner of his eye at the camera.

CTD and Art Spark Texas are proud to host the launch of Crip Lyrics: The Unapologetic Poetry of Disability, a collection of poems framing the many facets of Disability Culture.

Written by a disabled activist, speaker, organizer, and writer Val Vera, Crip Lyrics is an unfiltered and poetic narrative of Vera’s perspectives, lived experiences, and identity as a disabled person.
