In a collection about forging your own path, Echolalia longs for freedom.Through poetry that varies in style, playing with rhyme and form, poet Steph James devastates in their debut collection: an existential contemplation about how it’s possible to live side by side with death when all the systems are set up against you.These works detail life as a neurodivergent under capitalism, queer love and acceptance under capitalism, being working class under capitalism, and about how death and grief creep in long after that initial pain. Echolalia echoes the joy in keeping going despite its presence – finding solace in love, acceptance and tomatoes.
