The Art of Listening includes poetry, visual arts, and insights from more than 60 artists, including members of the International Listening Association, and award-winning poets and artists alongside poets and artists enjoying their first publications.
The artwork on the cover is a microscopic sculpture by Willard Wigan, creator of the world’s smallest hand-made micro-sculptures. Inside you’ll find that hummingbird in context, in the eye of a needle.
The collection also includes an inspiring interview with Willard, along with more of his wondrous works, including a scene from Beatrix Potter’s The Tailor of Gloucester (also in the eye of a needle)!
“As a boy, Beatrix Potter stories influenced me greatly. Each story floated around in my head, filling my mind with wonder and possibilities. Each adventure story took me on a magical journey to wonderful places and expanded my imagination of the tiny world.” ~ Willard Wigan
