Helen Keller 
Song of the Stone Wall 

Blind, deaf and unable to communicate from a young age, Helen Keller was eventually taught to read, write and speak with the help of an extraordinary teacher. This lead to a flowering of creativity and imagination in Keller, who went on to produce dozens of memoirs, essays, letters, and stories. The Song of the Stone Wall is a book-length poem that details Keller’s participation in the construction of a wall on the grounds of her home that made it possible for her to roam farther safely.
