Exploring the possibility of words and the limits inherent in both language and form, \u003ci\u003eLittle Sound\u003c\/i\u003e asks its reader, \"Did you hear that?\" and tunes in to what echoes when we listen. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDivided into three long poems, \u003ci\u003eLittle Sound\u003c\/i\u003e explores language, gossip, reading practices, love, and death, tracing webs of meaning across a range of seemingly disparate topics. Gibbel's speaker interrogates partial histories and turns them into meditations on the literary, the natural, and the personal, including the subdivided memorial prairies of the Midwest, family history, pipe organs, and medieval theology. Associative, funny, curious, bell-like, and elaborately architectural, Gibbel's poems offer a study in emotional nuance, knowing winks, and sonic attentiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katherine Gibbel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226852415\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226852416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/06\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs","brand":"Katherine Gibbel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48520278114559,"sku":"9780226852416","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_730e8d31-7eb5-40d2-8be2-7e1396756662.jpg?v=1778741798","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/little-sound-katherine-gibbel-9780226852416","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
