Listening is a book of poetry by Lithuanian-American artist Foster Mickley. A primer in lead to its publication in Japanese, English, and French, this first iteration is written in English and its makings work as both experiment and exercise. Waves and tidal skies make imagery of oceans and starlight mnemonic, possession lives in softness and the feeling of a shared “our” sets one alight in soft blaze. Words are given room to be made sonic, voiced by the reader, and held as gentle breath-turned-breaks. Here the plateaus as waves, as mountains, are shaped by wind and rain, their sounds move from one to the other finding home in places made various. Within these fields, Listening evokes spaces weathered in safety, made in hope for a shared commons and for a shared world of words.
