{"product_id":"the-sound-of-listening-philip-metres-9780472037285","title":"The Sound of Listening: Poetry as Refuge and Resistance","description":"\u003cp\u003ePhilip Metres stakes a claim for the cultural work that poems can perform--from providing refuge to embodying resistance, from recovering silenced voices to building a more just world, in communities of solitude and solidarity. Gathering a decade of his writing on poetry, he widens our sense of poetry as a way of being in the world, proposing that poems can offer a permeability to marginalized voices and a shelter from the imperial noise and despair that can silence us. \u003ci\u003eThe Sound of Listening\u003c\/i\u003e ranges between expansive surveys of the poetry of 9\/11, Arab American poetry, documentary poetry, landscape poetry, installation poetry, and peace poetry; personal explorations of poets such as Adrienne Rich, Khalil Gibran, Lev Rubinstein, and Arseny Tarkovsky; and intimate dialogues with Randa Jarrar, Fady Joudah, and Micah Cavaleri, that illuminate Metres's practice of listening in his 2015 work, \u003ci\u003eSand Opera\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip Metres\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0472037285\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780472037285\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Michigan Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/17\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.60d","brand":"Philip Metres","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43919895757055,"sku":"9780472037285","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_dd1502ad-81ef-4eae-9e72-6d0ac44e985d.jpg?v=1680812503","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-sound-of-listening-philip-metres-9780472037285","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
