- Synopsis
- A profoundly playful poem in three parts, this work considers the echo as a social and historical phenomenon.From Ekhō, the nymph of Greek mythology whose voice was stolen by the gods, to the advent of Amazon&’s Echo smart speaker, the echo has been described as a condition of voicelessness, unfulfilled desire, loss, and entrapment. These poems reconsider echoing as a poetic practice and as an orienting device that tunes the world in to itself.Roslyn Orlando&’s debut collection combines Ancient Greek mythology with big tech to produce a philosophical, political, and psychological exploration of love, capitalism, resonance, and rage.
