Description
In the Blindness Program, poet J. J. Jonas explores vision in a way that goes far beyond eyesight.
Sound of Sunshine | by J. J. Jonas
A woman adjusting to progressive vision loss moves through fear, frustration, mobility training, and the awkwardness of accepting help. Humor and sensory detail gradually lead her back to everyday pleasures: a hummingbird’s buzz, a grandson’s voices, warm sunlight, and the knowledge that joy remains available even when sight changes.
Things I Still See | by J. J. Jonas
With brisk wit, a blind speaker answers the pity and overhelping she encounters by cataloging all she still notices: dishonesty in a voice, family members by their footsteps, weather in the air, and beauty beyond eyesight. Her comic observations overturn assumptions about disability and redefine seeing as attentive living.
Together these poems celebrate resilience, perception, and the quiet truth that sometimes the clearest way to see the world is simply to slow down and pay attention.
