Abstract:	The four articles in this cluster are the first body of research on South African Sign Language (SASL) poetry - a body of creative works composed and performed visually by Deaf South African poets. These articles draw on a collection of poems from the Signing Hands Across the Water 2 (SHAW 2), an international sign language poetry festival that took place in Johannesburg in April 2014.
