Are You Listening? is a winter-night soundscape in literary form-a curated collection of stories and poems shaped by bells, voices, echoes, and the music of the cold season. Opening with Tennyson's resonant "Ring Out, Wild Bells" and continuing through Arthur Conan Doyle's classic Sherlock Holmes mystery, the volume moves between lyric quietude and dramatic intensity. Works by Longfellow, Poe, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and O. Henry create a chorus of winter sounds: church bells, bustling streets, whispered reflections, and the hush of falling snow. Curated for atmosphere and auditory richness, Are You Listening? invites the reader to hear winter differently-through story, poetry, and the subtle music of Christmastide.
