The Daily Glance

Deborah Bernhardt's echolalia is a book that uses many contemporary experimental techniques to talk essentially about relationships. It's not that she has only that topic. Actually, she talks about quite a few different topics, from past literary figures (Dickinson, Whitman, etc. . .) to language itself; plus, some of the text seems to work from just getting us to look at what it is doing.

Familiar yes, but how does it fit in the poem? Many bits of this book make one ask such questions, but for me, that makes reading the book interesting. Things seem like they do fit together but not always in an obvious way.
