The Middle East, both real and imagined, forms the background
against which George Messo's third collection, "Hearing Still",
shapes its recurring themes: silence, destruction, resistance, and
endurance. The poems are, at times, as sparse as the landscapes
they inhabit; fragile breaths quivering at the edge of worlds
driven by catastrophe and restored by human dignity. Ranging
through Turkey, Lebanon and Palestine, to the gravel deserts of
Oman, and the desolate coastal plains of the Arabian Gulf, Messo's
uniquely strange and illusive vision is at once mysterious and
distressing.
