The Sound Beneath The Wind
The Sound Beneath The Wind is a lyrical meditation on apprenticeship, to landscape, to weather, to stillness, and ultimately to attention itself.
Set in wide country of canyon walls, and high ridgelines, these poems trace a solitary speaker’s gradual adaption to the discipline of listening.
Across four movements the collection charts a subtle interior transformation. What begins as yearning for solitude becomes an embodied understanding: that silence is not the absence of noise, but a posture of alignment.
Written in spare, image-driven lines, The First Silence resists sentimentality in favor of grounded physical presence. poems dwell in thresholds: between current and air, shadow and light, breath and stone.
This volume serves as the foundational work preceding The Discipline of Light, tracing the formative encounters that shape a life of deliberate seeing.
