Mishearing is a companion volume to Musgrave's 2016 vers libre collection Anatomy of Voice. In it, he details the compositional method of these poems as 'mishearings' of poems via Microsoft Word 2003's in-built speech recognition function.

The Mishearing suite of poems is accompanied by an introductory essay and an afterword, both of which range widely in his attempts to comprehend the mysteries of voice, myth, and the poetic art.
