With one exception, every echo was written or spoken by poet (and love of my life) Jennifer Hill-Kaucher. Some come from poems or fictions she has written (some of which have been published by FootHills Publishing), but many come from places as mundane as jotted notes and SMS text messages (an Index follows). </div> <bR> <div> What I discovered was that when you love a poet, there are no mundane occasions for words, and these poems began as a way for me to hang on to many of these lines, to give them a life longer than ephemera. It later grew to include lines of hers I loved from all sorts of other sources, and found its logical conclusion in the final poem, which uses for its echo a complete poem of hers; a poem that contains an echo itself. It has been one of the greatest joys of my life to wrap my words around hers in a way that echoes the way she wraps her love around mine.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> From the Book:</div> <bR> <div> <B>All You Imagine</B></div> <bR> <div> I have never been what you might call your</div> <div> bland imaginator.

I renamed constellations</div> <div> to nouns and verbs and conjunctions so that</div> <div> poems are written in the sky. The swirl</div> <div> of dust in shafts of light lifts me above</div> <div> myself and inside the cloud I see all</div> <div> the lines of force glow like comet tails that</div> <div> linger into the shape of a hint.
