Echo Echo: Reverso Poems about Greek Myths

Marilyn Singer

Echo Echo is a collection of reverso poems based on Greek myths. Reading a poem in one direction recounts a myth, while taking it in reverse brings out a second viewpoint. Figures and stories include Echo and Narcissus, Pandora, Pygmalion, Icarus and Daedalus, King Midas, Demeter and Persephone, and Perseus with Medusa. Vibrant acrylic artwork reflects the poems’ reversible design and their paired perspectives.
