Poetry. ECHOLOCATION refreshes one’s sense of the thrilling necessity of poetry. Dedicated to ‘all those who navigate by sound in the dark, ’ it is meant for an ‘us’ that includes the whale, the bat, the frog, the river, as well as our multifarious, ardently curious, startlingly ingenious human Selves. Reilly’s tour-de-force opening suite of poems is conducted, with her uniquely grave humor, like a lepidopterist’s outing in the Anthropocene: spotting, not netting, paradoxical fragilities of metamorphic selves and echoes of selves attempting to locate one another.–Joan Retallac
