What memories get lost, and why? Dorothea Lasky’s \u003cem\u003eMEMORY\u003c\/em\u003e is a cycle of poet’s essays ranging across three dimensions of memory – ancestral, personal and poetic – to reflect on art; time, both everyday and the transcendent; charged sites of collective reminiscence, such as the moon landing; and forgetting through her father’s experience of Alzheimer’s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLasky broaches the edges of knowability: what’s left where memory is absent? What’s ‘real’ beyond the horizon of death? The book closes with ‘Time, the Rose, and the Moon’, an ars poetica exploring the ouroboros as a symbol for the nonlinear processes of time, memory and art. Lasky reveals memory to be huge and haunting, as she accumulates impressions that challenge the possibility of fixed meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56565624996214,"sku":"9781068240911","price":11.92,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_37680119_7f11a8a5-c751-45ab-af85-31175be125d8.jpg?v=1762395738","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781068240911-memory","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
