"Echo, Echo: reverso poems about Greek myths" - Marilyn Singer

I did not realize that the author had invented this style of poetry writing until I read the bio on the back flap. I've read her other two collections of poems and they are fascinating, fun, and clever!

A reverso poem is a poem told twice. After reading the first poem through, you read it again starting with the last line and ending with the first, giving it a different meaning and/or point-of-view.

Hear Ariadne's opinion of Athena about their competition! What does Atalanta think of Hippomenes? Even Galatea gets her say.
