Presale for Pam Price's Poetry Chapbook
Donation protected
Hello!
My name is Pamela Anne Price. I was born on September 23rd, 1959 in Philadelphia, PA. I am a poet with Cerebral Palsy. I like to talk about my 62 years of life with my staff who help me eat, get dressed, and wash my hair. I wasn't supposed to be here for this long. I weighed five pounds when I was born. My staff writes down my thoughts and we work together to make poems.
I am excited to let you know that I am beginning to sell my second poetry book! This book will be professionally printed and will feature many new poems and paintings I have made. It will be called "I'm Not Supposed To Live This Long," which is something I tell people a lot. God keeps me alive, and it feels good. In my book, I talk about my life, my Alexa, meatballs, and the special people in life, some of whom have passed away, and some of whom are still living.
Last year, I made my first poetry book. I loved it. It made me happy to write. It was the first time I had written poetry, and I was surprised that I could do it. I had the book made on printer paper with an inkjet printer. I've learned a lot about writing poetry since my first book, and I have written a lot of new poems too.

To make my paintings, I put a laser pointer on my head. After that, I paint on a picture by moving my head and I show my staff where the color goes. I tell them what color to paint and they paint it. I tell them when to stop and switch colors. You can see me make a painting in the video below.
My book will be 32 pages in all color and will feature all new paintings and poems. I am a professional artist, and I support myself with my art. My art is my primary job. Your purchase will go directly to me, and a portion of the money will go towards Who Press'd Press, who is printing this book on 4-color Riso.
I will be selling my book at a discount for $12 during presale!
