These Words Are Fugitives

“These Words Are Fugitives,” is the debut poetry collection of Eduardo “Echo” Martinez.

The title typography extends beyond the front cover, to (and through) the fore-edge, and onto the backside of the book. In this way the words are intended to be fugitive, moving from place to place, difficult to grasp.
