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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChris Forhan\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the memoir \u003ci\u003eMy Father Before Me\u003c\/i\u003e (Scribner, 2016) and three books of poetry: \u003ci\u003eBlack Leapt In\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the Barrow Street Press Poetry Prize; \u003ci\u003eThe Actual Moon, The Actual Stars\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the Morse Poetry Prize and a Washington State Book Award; and \u003ci\u003eForgive Us Our Happiness\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the Bakeless Prize.
