J. Martin Daughtry Boeken

Exploring the depths of Melville's classic, this poetry cycle by J. Martin Daughtry reimagines "Moby Dick" through the lens of erasure poetry. By selectively removing words and phrases, Daughtry uncovers new meanings and emotions, creating a fresh narrative that reflects on themes of obsession, nature, and humanity's struggle against the vastness of the sea. The work invites readers to engage with the original text in an innovative way, highlighting the power of language and the art of transformation.

A landmark work within the study of conflict, sound studies, and ethnomusicology, Listening to War offers a broad theorization of sound, violence, music, listening and place, while also providing a discrete window into the lives of individual Iraqis and Americans struggling to orient themselves within the fog of war.
