Music at the Margins of Sense
Many congratulations to Jessica Holmes on her new book, Music at the Margins of Sense, published by University of Michigan Press in November 2026.
Our interviews led me to revisit some difficult questions and helped shape next steps into the world of whisper-violins.
"Many artists played an instrumental role in the book’s unfolding at different points over the course of its eight-year-long development. Thank you for entrusting me with your stories, and for allowing me to speak to your creative practice .... Your accounts will inspire readers in musicology, sound studies, disability studies, and beyond for many years to come..."
