Midway through the journey of his life, Dan BeachyQuick found himself without a path, unsure how to live well. Of Silence and Song follows him through the forest of his experience, on a classical search for meaning in the world and in his particular, quiet life.In essays, fragments, marginalia, images, travel writing, and poetry, BeachyQuick traces relationships and the identities through which he sees the world. As father and husband. As teacher and student. As citizen and scholar. And as poet and reader, wondering at the potential and limits of literature, and guided by his studies in ancient Greek.Of Silence and Song finds its infernoand its paradisein moments both historically vast and nakedly intimate. Our worlds disappearing bees, James Eagan Holmes, Columbine, and the persistent, unforgivable crime of slaverythese are the circles of hell BeachyQuick wanders, but cannot escape. And yet he encounters redemption in the art of Marcel Duchamp, the pressed flowers in Emily Dickinsons Bible, and long walks with his youngest daughter, Iris. The litany in hell is weeping, weeping, he writes, but there are other litanies.Curious, earnest, and masterful, Of Silence and Song is an unforgettable exploration of the human soul.
