\nBehind Our Eyes announces our third anthology<\/h2>\n
![\"Behind](\"https:\/\/www.behindoureyes.org\/images\/BehindOurEyes3.jpg\")
<\/p>\nDescription of cover image courtesy of Be My AI: The image is the cover of a book titled Behind Our Eyes 3: A Literary Sunburst<\/em>. The subtitle reads, “The Third Literary Anthology of Stories, Poems and Essays by Writers with Disabilities.” The book is edited by Mary-Jo Lord. The background of the cover is gray, and the text is in yellow. Below the text, there is an image of a bright, fiery sunburst, showing intense solar activity with vivid orange and yellow colors.<\/p>\n
Behind Our Eyes 3: A Literary Sunburst<\/em> is available from Barnes and Noble, Smashwords, and soon coming to Amazon.<\/p>\n
From the back cover:
\nIn Behind Our Eyes 3: A Literary Sunburst<\/em>, the third anthology of its kind, six sections comprised of memoirs, fiction, and poetry share slices of life from the perspectives of those living with disabilities. Most works first appeared in Magnets and Ladders<\/em>, an online literary journal in which novice and experienced writers with disabilities showcase their work. While unique challenges are incorporated into some of the works, this compilation speaks to universal themes and common experiences, involving loss and grief, adversity and fear, love and passion. Subjects such as life-changing illness and the death of a pet are shared with sensitivity and compassion; some works reminding us that a rainbow is possible only in the aftermath of a storm. Heartbreaking, as well as heartwarming, memoirs recount experiences belonging to military veterans, children of immigrants, and parents in the trenches of child rearing. Witty fiction introduces us to cosmic bowling with aliens, and asks us to envision a sky with two moons. Reflective poems describe braille as \u201cticklish filigree lace on cardboard paper\u201d and fingerspelling that \u201cperforms magic in a cacophony of the palms.\u201d In other verse, lyrical imagery paints enchanting portraits of the natural world. To unexpected delight, tantalizing recipes accompany several works; such as those for edible salad bowls, lemon herb bread, cinnamon rolls, and even frozen yogurt pops for golden retrievers named Sammy who \u201csing the blues.\u201d As a part of the community myself, I am reminded that the only thing a deaf woman cannot do is hear, and the only thing a blind man cannot do is see. This engaging collection promises three enriching opportunities: readers are challenged to question outdated notions of disability; invited to appreciate perspectives that differentiate us from one another; and encouraged to embrace the threads that make up the fabric of our collective human experience. Readers, disabled and not, will be inspired to hold up a mirror to their own experiences, and recognize that, reassuringly, we are all in this together.

\nPart I. The Joy and Wonder of the Seasons<\/h2>\n
A Taste of Autumn, poetry
by Carol Farnsworth<\/h3>\nRed, green, yellow apples tumble in press.
\nBags of ripe fruit stacked to sell.
\nScents of sugar cinnamon rise over cooling donuts.
\nI cross cracked, worn floorboards to make a selection.
\nWarm confections, cinnamon sprinkled with powder sugar a mug of fresh cider in my hand I cross to a picnic table.
\nSipping, I smile. Filled with past memories.
\nGathering fallen fruit to press.
\nFilling gallons with golden juice.
\nThe heirloom press,
\nHas cranked for generations.
\nAmber liquid splashes over sides.
\nDown a long trough.
\nBottled in recycled glass.
\nA taste of autumn,
\nThen and now.<\/p>\nBio: As a poet, blogger and family historian, Carol Farnsworth relates stories with a humorous twist. Born with a congenital eye disease that slowly caused her blindness, she strives to see the light side of life. With her daughter Ruth and husband John, She has traveled by bike, car and plane discovering the natural world. Her writings have appeared in online magazines and publications. Her books include Leaf Memories<\/em>, a chapbook of nature from a tandem bike. She contributed to Strange Weather Anthology, True Quirks of Nature<\/em> by Marlene Mesot.

\nWhispers of Fall, poetry
by Richard McClellan<\/h3>\nGround covered in a haze,
\nWith a moonlight piercing afterglow,
\nThe shimmer is brazen,
\nFilled by blowing leaves in tow.<\/p>\nGiving hints of the change to come,
\nCool air creeps in at night,
\nThe Whispers of Fall migrate,
\nTowards October’s day of fright.<\/p>\nThe cordial days of fall,
\nBringing seasonal beliefs,
\nAfter thy hot days of summer,
\nWith the sounds of autumn relief.<\/p>\nThe Whispers of Fall,
\nMake a joyous fellow,
\nWith the rustling of colored leaves,
\nIn their shades of Red and Yellow.<\/p>\nBio: Richard McClellan was born in Yellville, Arkansas. He served in the U.S. Army, and has traveled the world including Japan, Korea, Portugal, Italy, Canada, and most of the lower 48 United States and Alaska. His favorite place that he has visited is the Azores Islands in the middle of the Atlantic ocean.<\/p>\n
His hobbies include poetry, genealogy, motorcycling, crocheting, and knitting. Prior to an injury sustained in 2007, he enjoyed playing billiards, 8-ball and 9-ball competitively. His educational background includes a Bachelor\u2019s degree in Electronics from SMSU and an Associate\u2019s degree in Electromechanical Technology from North Arkansas Community College.<\/p>\n
\nOn All Hallows Eve, fiction
by Abbie Johnson Taylor<\/h3>\nThe house was dark except for a lighted pumpkin in a front window. A cat perched next to it on the sill. All was quiet except for the rustling of leaves.<\/p>\n
\u201cHoney, I don\u2019t think we can trick-or-treat here,\u201d I told my eight-year-old daughter, Jennifer. \u201cNobody\u2019s home.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut they wouldn\u2019t go off and leave a lighted pumpkin in the window. It could start a fire.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, it might be a battery-operated light.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLook at the cat!\u201d Jennifer pointed.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, honey, that\u2019s a black cat. They\u2019re bad luck. We\u2019ve had about all the bad luck we can take.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, I know. Daddy left us, and we lost our home in Florida because of the hurricane. But Grandma and Grandpa said we could move here to Sheridan, where you grew up, and live with them. You have a job you like. I have new friends in a school I like, and I get to see Grandma and Grandpa every day instead of just twice a year.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re right.\u201d I hugged her.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandma said you should always look on the bright side, no matter what.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s right, of course.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBesides, Grandma said that bit about black cats being bad luck is an old wives\u2019 tale.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s right about that too.\u201d<\/p>\n
Suddenly, an eerie howl erupted from the screened-in side porch of the house. Jennifer screamed, dropping her bag of goodies.<\/p>\n
Grabbing her hand, I said, \u201cLet\u2019s get away from here.\u201d<\/p>\n
We didn\u2019t stop running until we reached our lighted front porch a few blocks away. The door opened, and Mom gaped at us.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandma, we were at this house that was all dark except for a lighted pumpkin, and there was a black cat in the window, and there was this big, scary dog on the side porch that howled at us.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGoodness!\u201d Mom said. \u201cCome inside. I\u2019ll make some hot chocolate, and you can tell Grandpa and me all about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
As we sat in the living room in front of a roaring fire, sipping cocoa, Jennifer told the whole story. Dad scratched his head. \u201cThat sounds like the Potter house.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course,\u201d Mom said. \u201cLynette, you remember the Potters. You went to school with Sylvia.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I remember now. Sylvia had a younger brother, Ian. They had a black cat and a big black dog that loved to howl. They kept him either in the yard or on the side porch. They always put a lighted pumpkin in the window on Halloween.\u201d<\/p>\n
I shook my head. \u201cI lost touch with Sylvia after I left town. Whatever happened to them?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWell,\u201d Dad answered, \u201clast year, they all went on a family vacation-except for the cat, of course. And they were all killed in a car accident.\u201d<\/p>\n
