STILL AS A STANDING WAVE

a night book of the body that is a speaker

William Vincent Carleton

The body, this night book says, is a resonating speaker: each sound goes out as a sphere and will not come back as it was. Lúmine and Líam learn to hold still enough to see a standing wave in the pond, to hear that no note in the yard is a copy, and to understand that productivity can look like sitting. A calm book about stillness, kindness and letting a sound go.
