    About this ebook

    Echoes is a fantasy told in verse by the young shapeshifter poet Christopher Crow. In a realm where Griffins and Centaurs prowl, Crow navigates a harsh interior landscape of barren rock and dry deserts. He is driven by his quest to find "the Other", the light half of his own dark soul. In this private quest mirrors are abundant and Crow uses them as doorways to weave in and out of reality and fictional worlds,
    all the while keeping a diary of verse that translates to the reader a life intensely lived, an object of his quest obsessively sought after.
