November 2, 2021

It is our pleasure, Francisca, to read your poem on our SW site:

SignWriting in USA
https://www.signwriting.org/usa/

Have you ever considered writing poetry or prose in Chilean Sign Language? Here is the Chilean SignPuddle:

Chilean Sign Language Dictionary
https://www.signbank.org/signpuddle2.0/index.php?ui=5&sgn=0&sgn=135

I loved learning about your father, and would like someday to learn more about his contributions to the Deaf Community in Chile and around the world too…a remarkable story...

I am posting your ASL poetry on my Facebook page today ;-)

Have a great day!

Val ;-)

>> This poem written by Francisca was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.
>> I liked the concept that she thought of making each stanza taking advantage of the SW column structure so that each hand configuration heralds the next verse.
>> The poem's message in ASL is also admirable.
>> I would like to have contact with this writer as I am also transcribing some signed videos and I have already noticed some techniques that we can collaborate with.

>> Thanks to Valerie Sutton for sharing.
