With Sonorous Desert Kim Haines-Eitzen has written a gorgeously evocative book about an experience most of us take for granted. As an expert on early Christian hermits and monasticism, she has given us a work where sound is the primary conduit to understand both the solitary and the social sides of our experience. How much do we give to others, and how much time do we need for ourselves? We all face this to some degree or another. Haines-Eitzen has written a book where this primary dilemma is explored through how we hear our world, our sonorous experience. This is a novel and exciting investigation of how sound deeply informs how we experience, and live in our world. With this book Haines-Eitzen has given us a key to a deeper understand of ourselves.
