Yes.

zip off the book)
ISBN 0-9644196-4-5

Nancy Scott has done two books, though at the moment I don't recall the 
names.

Dr. Marian   Kaplun Shapiro sent me one of her books to review.    It's 
called "Players in the Dream, Dreamers in the Play."   Publisher;   Plain View 
Press, P.O. 42255, Austin TX 78704

(Don't know how up to date these addresses are)
ISBN 978-1-891386-72-5

There are a couple of others that were sent to me over the years.   So yes, 
these books do exist.   

I have no idea where the idea came from that we have no published 
contemporary blind poets.   That simply is not the case.
