Quiet Riot is a collective of disabled young people and their allies, using poetry to claim space, speak truth, and connect. Their punning name reflects their work—quiet in form, riotous in impact. These are poems shaped in silence, typed rather than spoken, and honed by necessity into powerful, economical language.
Themes of belonging, frustration, joy, and identity run through the collection. Each poet shares a history of being underestimated, and each has something vital to say. These poems are conversations the world once thought they couldn't have.
This is not a support group—it’s a movement. And this collection is a celebration of voices that refuse to be overlooked.
