When I started writing poems, I recognised that, for me, music is like ekphrastic poetry. A composer responds to something and in turn there is my response to the composer. From my own experiences, I was reminded how my mental image or emotional response to a piece of music was not necessarily what the composer had in mind. Being more aware of the silences throughout a piece of music or when it comes to an end, I started to write about silence. In doing that, I realised that in our ordinary lives it doesn't exist. What is silence? It appears to be a momentary pause between one sound and the next - a heartbeat. Even if everything else can be blocked out, we can still feel or hear our own heart beating. Having got that far, I explored places where there was 'silence' and discovered what I could really hear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brenda Eldridge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1761096249\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781761096242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Debbie Lee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/08\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 56\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.12d","brand":"Brenda Eldridge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45934082425087,"sku":"9781761096242","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_93db49b6-8d7b-4ea1-bcc2-1c7bb9418f1d.jpg?v=1721790305","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sounds-silences-brenda-eldridge-9781761096242","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
