Review "...In these carefully crafted and exquisitely meditative poems, what is listened to are the sounds of the prairie ranch of the poet's childhood, but underneath their Montana landscapes, these poems offer us an ongoing inquiry into the nature of listening, what it asks of us, and what it gives in return. Gary Whited teaches us that deep listening is in effect a prayer, a gathering and focusing of our attention, that sometimes lets us hear the mystery of being whisper back." --Fred Marchant, author of The Looking House"Gary Whited is that rare philosopher who digs deep enough to strike the wellsprings of poetry. Here we enter a stillness so profound it changes the way we see the world." --Dan Veach, editor Atlanta Review, author of Elephant Water"For those of us who have known for many years the pleasures of Gary Whited's quiet, prairie-steeped poems, it is cause for celebration to finally see his work collected and in print. We have waited a long time for this haunting, elegiac book." --Aimée Sands, author of The Green-go Turn of Telling"Each one of Gary Whited's poems is as fixed in place and time as a fence post on a snow-swept prairie in Montana, 'holding the barbed wire under / the wounding staples'; each poem a listening post that's staked at the crossroads of language and silence. These are serious and beautiful meditations on nature and family and hard work, detached yet possessed, as vigilant to elemental existence as they are entranced by it. Everywhere the writing is fully alive to the world it has so feelingly made." --George Kalogeris, author of Dialogos, Paired Poems in Translation"In Having Listened, Gary Whited guides the reader to a time and place that evokes the very essence of his experience growing up on the prairie of Eastern Montana. Through his eloquence and imagery, Whited brings the reader to a deeper understanding of the spiritual beauty and sorrows of that life and thus a deep universal connection to it." -- James T. Powers, author of Saving the Farm
From the Inside Flap "What gives this love-song to the prairies of Eastern Montana its heft and depth is not only the poet's deep affection for 'rattlesnake skins fluttering in the wind' and 'the perfection of still water' just below the muzzle of his father's white horse, but the way this love occurs amidst the disturbing sorrows and unspoken loneliness of these families in their struggles with themselves as well as the land. Having Listened, indeed, to the all of it, every wrinkle and sparrow, as well as his own darker side steeping like black tea in the cup of the self. And then the ancient voice out of the deep past, Parmenides, steadying him as he makes his way in the ubiquitous wind, like the 'badger, who digs alone into the sod and the silence.'"--Roger Dunsmore, author of You're Just Dirt

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. An exquisite collection of poems by the psychotherapist, philosopher and former MT prairie boy, who learned to listen to silence By Lisa Lancaster This is an exquisite collection of poems which invokes in its reader a capacity- and even a yearning- to listen into silence. With humor, compassion and dry wit, Whited illuminates his early life on a Montana cattle ranch, where poignance and sorrow were among his daily companions.His life beyond the ranch became a complex extension of that early listening, first in philosophy to Parmenides, then in psychotherapy to his clients. "Having Listened" is a meditative and celebratory song of human existence and - not only survival - but an innate capacity to heal and thrive.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. fresh and clear as Montana air By avid rita I'm really quite awful when it comes to reading poetry, even with a couple of well-published friends, but I did enjoy this slim volume of poems from a local author. Hoping to attend a reading at our locally owned Porter Square Books. The poems were largely accessible to even a dunderhead such as myself, evocative of place and time and inner spaces. Suitable for bedside re-reads to be savored over time.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Parmenides in Montana By Ed Codish "Having Listened" is a superb collection. The author is a student of Parmenides, a pre-Socratic philosopher who insists there is no change. In Whited's world, we experience a world in a great tension, straining sometimes for a change that cannot happen. Some of this poetry is an extension of Wallace Stevens, as the Whited's poem Eden evokes and complements Stevens' "Man with the Blue Guitar."For $17.00, we get to experience, in its beauty, a world not our own but comprehensible from where we are. I am tempted to engage here in full fledged criticism. Were I still teaching, the volume would be required reading.
