Ella Mae Lentz is an award-winning Deaf poet who has significantly impacted my personal development in ASL and my understanding of Deaf culture. I had the honor of meeting her once but that was years ago! Her poem, “To a Hearing Mother” is beautiful and captures the tension that a Deaf child experiences while living in two worlds. Both are important and equally valuable! I love how she extends an invitation to parents, “Will you take my hand and come join me and become doubly fertile ground for him to grow smart and beautiful?” What are your thoughts about this poem?
