At once deeply personal and infused with a profound respect for its literary predecessors, The Book of Echoes resonates with the speaker’s journey through Tourette’s syndrome. This exploration of motor tics, echolalia, and phantom speech gradually unfolds into a joyous and surreal celebration of Jack Spicer’s insight that “Poems should echo and re-echo against each other. They should create resonances. They cannot live alone any more than we can.” Welch’s The Book of Echoes delights in illuminating the intimate spaces of connection that poetry provides.
