This is a student from Columbia in Chicago that I went to school with at Gallaudet. Often in ASL Lit class we ask, "can it be literature if a hearing person is signing it?". We struggle with this question as interpreters, wanting to including ourselves into the Deaf community, hoping to be accepted. I would call this ASL literature, simply because Noel uses ASL to express her "Cherish" story. She uses specific handshapes and classifiers to express the message throughout her poem.
