Will is a poet nostalgic for the tight-knit island community his family moved away from when he was a boy. When Will dies unexpectedly, his body is buried, but his journal remains on the shelf in his family's home. Its pages of poems, conversations, musings, and memories concerning family history, island life, and its fading culture emanate from the book and seep into the thoughts of his surviving family members as they struggle to navigate their daily responsibilities to the land, their tense relationships with each other, and the ever-shifting nature of grief. Set on a rural coast in the mid-20th century, Between Sounds is the story of a family trying to reconnect with each other after being physically displaced from their ancestral home and emotionally displaced by a member's sudden death. Steven Kennedy 's first novel, Birds of Massachusetts , won the 2020 Michael Rubin Book Award and is published by Fourteen Hills Press. He has a MFA from San Francisco State University and lives on Boston's North Shore. Between Sounds is part of The Shortish Project, celebrating short novels at theshortishproject.com.
