John you have a good point about finding work on my site. The site is a bit
heavy handed. Go down just below the bio and there should be a series of
links. I believe the first one is titled "A Fortuitous Meeting" They are
listed in alphabetical order I think the last one is "Your Name in the 
Wind." If you click on one of those you will be brought to a page that has a 
description of the story. In most cases there is a link to the story just 
above the description. If you search for the word "description" you will 
find a link to that story. It's not always an easy site to navigate. I've 
been working with the site for about seven years so I've learned a few 
tricks to make navigating easier. I'll be interested to see what you think 
of my work.

>> Hello!
>>
>> I recently subscribed to this list, on the suggestion of Lori Stayer.  I
>> would have liked to lurk for a while before introducing myself, but so
>> far
>> the list has been awfully quiet, too quiet even for someone who is deaf.
>> So
>> I am going to dip my toes in here.
>>
>> To introduce myself briefly: My name is John Lee Clark, and I am a native
>> of
>> St. Paul, Minnesota.  I was born deaf to an all-deaf family and so
>> American
>> Sign Language is my first language.  I gradually became blind in early
>> adolescence, just as my father did and my younger brother did.  After
>> graduating from the Minnesota State Academy for the Deaf--on the other
>> bank
>> of a former river across from where the Minnesota State Academy for the
>> Blind is--I studied briefly at Gallaudet but jumped up in love, not fell,
>> with Adrean, a deaf girl from North Carolina.  We got married fast and
>> moved
>> to Minnesota.  We've been married for ten years now and have three sons.
>> Currently, I am the head of a new service that provides accommodations
>> for
>> deafblind people using video relay service.
>>
>> As for my literary pursuits, my wife and I ran for six years a small
>> press
>> devoted to signing community literature both in English and ASL.  But it
>> could not support our family, so we've had to turn to other sources of
>> income.  I've published many essays, but it's through my poetry that I've
>> won the most recognition--awards, grants, fellowships, all that.
>> Recently,
>> my chapbook of poems, Suddenly Slow, came out from Handtype Press.  I've
>> also done some independent scholarship on the literature of the deaf and
>> deafblind communities.  In March, Gallaudet University Press will come
>> out
>> with Deaf American Poetry, which I edited and which is the first
>> definitive
>> text of its kind, covering nearly two centuries of poetry by Deaf
>> Americans.
>> I am nearly done with anther anthology, this time of writings by
>> deafblind
>> people all over the world and since 1820.
>>
>> This should suffice for now!  I would love to learn about who's on this
>> list, so please do introduce yourself.
>>
>> Thanks!
>>
>> John
