Does /lit/ know of any decent literature written by blind people, especially people who were blind from birth?

D'oh!
borges went blind and continued writing and lecturing from memory
Didn't Milton have to dictate Paradise Lost because his eyesight gave out?
I only know about authors who went blind later in life. Milton, Borges, Sabato, Joyce. If Homer existed, then he was a blind man too.
Given the intense non-visual dreams and sensations blind people allegedly have that should impact their writing I would have expected there to be lots of well written prose and poetry outside Homer.

Some theories about the historical Homer have suggested that he may not have been blind and may have been several people.
Is this a credible possibility or is it like the Shakespeare is a black female thing?

The latter 3 went blind as old men so likely didn't impact how they described things.

The Autobiography of Helen Keller is very good. Oddly enough she uses a lot of imagery and descriptive terms that she couldn't possibly have seen, but being a reader she probably adapted a lot of the imagery she read into her own writing
not blind from birth but
Milton wrote Samson Agonistes blind which deals with blindness directly and Borges wrote a bunch of shit Blind, part of his collection directly following The Aleph deals with this blindness
