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.
