Product Description
Coming Out of the Closet and Breaking the Chains: Poetic Views from the Other Side of a Special Education Classroom is a collection of poems touching on everything that has touched Ms. Dressers’ life, from her experiences and impressions as a young person having to go through the special education system in our country’s school system, to child and spousal abuse. It touches on a wide range of subjects in life. But at the heart of this huge collection of poetry is a series of poems that bear the title of the book, “The Closet.” It is here that she gives voice to not only her struggles in school, but to the thousands of young people in school today who struggle in a school system that can’t adequately meet their special needs, but also sometimes denies them of basic human rights.
