Rita Banerjee • Echo in Four Beats

"In our narcissism-addled times, awakens Echo out of mythical slumber and accords her center stage, with stirring results. These poems dance nimbly from the playful to the sacred, the pentatonic-ancient to the jazzy-contemporary, the observational to the contemplative, and cross languages and borders with abandon, from trains in India to a Munich museum to the local copy shop. Yet while they may 'change [their] temperament as quickly as salamanders change skin, ' Echo in Four Beats is constantly returning us to a tonic center and rebuilding its chords and arpeggios anew, offering a music both savory and profound." --Tim Horvath, author of Understories and Circulation ‎
