About this title

Synopsis

Winner of the Gival Press Poetry Award

“Rodriguez’ exquisite lyricism sweeps through Puerto Rican history to the present. Each poem in A History of Echoes is a singular gem, but the expanse of this book immerses the reader deep into a mythic realm where music and rhythm take over, carry us on a profoundly sensuous journey. A gourd bursting open releases an ocean, sea turtles emerge from a wound in a man’s back, ships arrive with ‘ugly, / upright animals [who] seemed//as gods, at first,’ men who speak ‘ugly noise’ and have ‘buticaco eyes.’ The horror of Spanish plunderers, visitations by gods to the contemporaries like the poet Julia de Burgos, and images of Puerto Rican freedom fighters seized my imagination and left me with awe for this book.”—Beverly Burch, judge & author of Leave Me a Little Want

“In A History of Echoes: Poems, Texan poet Rod Carlos Rodr�guez crafts a repository of the long marginalized, but not lost, cultural Ta�no heritage. Poetry turns into an act of preserving the unique language, stories, and traditions of our Ta�no ancestry. In this captivating and poignant collection of poems, and like a boh�que or shaman, Rodr�guez’s voice amplifies the polyvocality of presences that still stream down in our blood. His work pays homage to Ta�no culture and its history with grace, depth, and beauty. A History of Echoes explores the complexities of identity, belonging, and memory as Rodr�guez’s poems sublimate into lyrical and evocative language, rendered with reverence and authenticity.”
—Elidio La Torre Lagares, author of Wonderful Wasteland and Other Natural Disasters: Poems
