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","brand":"Inpress Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58800551297408,"sku":null,"price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/4524\/8002\/files\/memoryfrontcover.jpg?v=1787993874","url":"https:\/\/londonbookarts.org\/en-au\/products\/memory-by-dorothea-lasky","provider":"London Centre for Book Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
