About Me

Samuel Miller: Samuel Miller, 68, was born with cerebral palsy. He is a graduate of McGill University's English Department and is a literary disabilities specialist. Inspired in the 1970's by the works of Christy Brown and the "disability" plays of Canadian David Freeman, he began studying on his own the portrayal of the physically and mentally handicapped in world literature. This was a period when Disability Studies programs were non-existent and when there were only a handful of scholars--mostly non-disabled--who were investigating this field. Among them was renowned American literary critic Leslie Fiedler,whom he was fortunate to meet. Samuel is the former editor and publisher of Disabled Writers' Quarterly: The International Literary Magazine Of Physically Disabled Writers. He also served as book review editor of the newsletter of the National Educational Association Of Disabled Students (NEADS), based at Carleton University, in Ottawa. He served on its Board of Directors as Quebec representative when NEADS was awarded the 1990 Commonwealth Youth Service Award.
