“Unlocking Perception: Discover the Hidden Depths of Sight in Naomi Cohn’s Intriguing Braille Encyclopedia”
Perhaps developing a completely different voice based on the medium she is writing in is best summed up by Cohn’s essay entitled “Voice,” where she reflects:
After a few years of keeping a braille journal, I notice a different voice emerges. Sometimes wild, sometimes catty, but more and more, a voice that does not pull punches. Not wrapping everything in endless modifiers. When it’s so much work to write a single word, it had better be worth saying.
Despite my ready tongue, I have always been afraid to say my mind. But so few people can read what I write in braille. I can leave a screed, a manifesto, or a satisfying string of insults and obscenities face up in the middle of a room (107).
