Dorothea Lasky’s Memory 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. Lasky 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublished:  UK, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublisher: Silver Press\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePages: 320\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eLanguage: English\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eISBN: 9781068240911\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dorothea Lasky","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57659335344459,"sku":null,"price":18.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/8755\/1819\/files\/9781068240911-2.jpg?v=1782218027","url":"https:\/\/desirelinesbookstore.com\/products\/memory","provider":"desirelines books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
