Sentences for listening

How may we listen through the nature and structure of language; of sentences? What kind of listening is fostered with, and asks for articulation in the form of sentences? What listens back at one through/with/by sentences? What forms of listening are excluded due to the nature of sentences, and yet, ghostly, surrounds the situation of sentences? The sentences included in this publication are not declarations but gestures—curious, hesitant, and at times unresolved. They seek the kind of attention that does not rush to respond. They attempt to attune to silence, to mishearing, to the acoustics of the inner voice, to the potential of language rather than its limitations. And in doing so, they strive to remind us that listening can be cultivated not only through sound, but through the very structure and play of language itself.
