Praise for The Braille Encyclopedia
“The Braille Encyclopedia shimmers—poetry in paragraph form. Compelling, often humorous entries show declining vision along with acute awareness.”
Ranae Lenor Hanson
Author of Watershed: Attending to Body and Earth in Distress
“…observations that can be as nuanced as they are sweeping. There is an impressive unity to this collection and a momentum that casts a spell as the pages turn.”
Ilya Kaminsky
Author of Deaf Republic
“A wonderful, wide-ranging rendering of a life in love with words and the world words make.”
Sean Hill
Author of Dangerous Goods
