This paper focuses on the US-American queer disability artist E.T. Russian and the question of how the experience of disability can be translated into artistic experience and practice. Russian’s  The Ring of Fire Anthology  (2014) draws attention to the insufficiency of words and language and deploys a form of literary collage that presents an empowering testimony to her life as an amputee. While the author’s account of the pitfalls entailed in prosthetics as well as gender and class struggles is captivating in itself, the force of her work resides elsewhere: the reader cannot escape the ecstasy of fragmentation and intertextuality provoked by the arrangement, or derangement, of image and text. It is Russian’s palimpsest of essays, comics, interviews, dictionary entries, erotica, lonely hearts ads, poems, and technical drawings that offers an entryway into the multiplicity and fluidity of disability experience.
