Although the roots of poetry lie in the 'oral' or storytelling tradition, since its recasting as a solely written and academic exercise the Deaf community has felt limited access to its expressive capabilities. Their language in this country - American Sign Language- was long considered merely bastardized or substandard English. Deaf poets attempted written English poetry with some success, but until the 1980's had few models for creating poems in their own language of signs. 'The Heart of the Hydrogen Jukebox' utilizes archival footage of performances and interviews by the fledgling deaf poets of the 70's and 80's to chronicle the coming of age of a new art from - ASL poetry.
