Publisher's Synopsis
The long-awaited collection by much-loved dub poet Klyde Broox, Echo-Mirror is a tour of his poetry over the decades. Filled with a rich voice and song, the poems within this collection are meant to be heard as much as read, but still resound on the page. Broox takes aim at the need to write in English, at inequality and at other injustices, with sharp images and strong rhythms, but also writes movingly of family and those lost along the way. The poems in the collection question the status quo, they celebrate Black voices and they are a call to action. These are poems that leap off the page into the reader's heart.
