Deafness Is Not a Silence: On the Suppression of Sign Language When I was editing my debut novel, A Sign Of Her Own , a quote from Ilya Kaminsky’s poetry collection, Deaf Republic , kept me company. “The deaf don’t believe in silence,” he writes, “silence is the invention of hearing people.” The quote interested me in part because my book concerned Alexander Graham Bell, a man who is often romanticized as having conquered silence through inventing the telephone.

I began with 2008 whites and (soon to come) the 2000 and 2001 reds.
