Riassunto

Going beyond Carl Sandburg's concept of poetry as "an echo, asking a shadow to dance," this collection, its rhythm encompassing the echo, brings back and sheds new light on the childhood, coming of age, and tough issues of the baby boomer generation. Lovin does the hard work, looking "back at things/to come from a time/not yet arrived" resulting in her flawless dance as the reader's reward.

--Hilda Downer, author of Sky Under the Roof: Poems

...
Christina Lovin's outstanding new collection Echo is wrapped in images of a time when "A Toni and a tube of Fire and Ice, / some typing lessons, and a course in shorthand / could take a girl a long way if she was wise--." Lovin reveals to her readers that growing up in small town America is more than eating ribbon candy, TV westerns, or lounging on the porch glider. Echo is an impressive work. --Leah Maines, Author of Beyond the River
