What prevents me from doing these gigs is the British always want me to put on my "disabled" head and put up with being patronised.
I am not a disabled performance poet or writer, I am a disabled windsurfer, horse rider, mountain biker and hill walker, ergo I am not able to do these things to my satisfaction any more.
Disability actually freed me from a demanding career so that I could write. for that reason I refuse to write about my disability and how I feel about it. It hacks me off and I would rather write and perform about subjects on which I have a little more to offer than self pity. I always find that America, for all that I dislike about its politics and the attitudes of some sectors of its society, is far more prepared to acknowledge me as a writer. I do not have to be a "disabled" writer in order to be given a chance.
