Fiction Poetry
A profoundly playful poem in three parts, this work considers the echo as a social and historical phenomenon.
From Ekho, 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.
