Praise for this book
"Séan Street opens our ears.... [to] the sounds that exist inside us, both physically and psychologically.... [to] consider the sound of the rooms in our own minds, poems, novels, works of art.... Séan Street gently conducts us on."
--Hilary Davies, The Times Literary Supplement
