Bringing together over 40 contributors from five continents, the book tunes in to some of the manifold effects associated with the presence and absence of sound and music in prisons and places of detention: from isolation, harm and control, to connection, healing and resistance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eScholarly texts feature alongside poetry, dialogue, memoir and experimental creative writing, as well as a diverse collection of audio productions on the book's accompanying website. This plurality of form mediates the voices of artists, activists, thinkers and practitioners - some themselves currently or formerly incarcerated. Through deep engagement with the sonic realm and with questions of power, the contributors explore what it might mean to \u003ci\u003elisten nearby\u003c\/i\u003e - making space to hold distinct perspectives and positionalities in respectful simultaneity - while also amplifying resonances between sound, listening and broader questions of epistemic and social justice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLucy Cathcart Frödén \u003c\/b\u003eis Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Oslo, Norway.
