And those reasons add up to surprise and delight. This is the rarest thing for a collection of poems: there is not a line of prose in it!" THOMAS LUX "Chris Forhan's images and insights...seem...to spring from the poet's subconscious to the reader's, with the vessel of the poem their only necessary medium. I can think of no better reading experience or more that could be asked of the best poetry." LAURA KASISCHKE, West Branch Wired

198,95 kr. Similar to how songs become familiar and welcoming earworms, these essays will imprint themselves on readers' minds. A Mind Full of Music contemplates and celebrates the mysterious, powerful, dynamic relationship between ourselves and the songs we love: the way in which songs work upon our minds and in which our minds, because of the inevitable creative force of our imaginations and memories, work upon them. The book does not propose or develop a unified argument, nor does it tell, chronologically, the story of the author's life of listening. Instead, in recognition of the varied, fluid, and ultimately mysterious ways in which our minds respond to songs, it is structured associatively, with one topic inspiring thoughts of another; the book begins with a song drifting into the author's mind, and it ends with that mind still in the midst of listening, waiting for a beat that will never come.
