Overview

Memory Map charts a deeply personal geography of family, remembrance, and loss, navigating the fragility of memory and the aging process through traditional and experimental poetry. Divided into three parts, this chapbook acts as both a literal and emotional map-one that traces childhood kitchens, nursing home couches, community pools, and imagined mountain trails, all while searching for bearings in the face of change. As memory fades and time pushes forward, the speaker tries to anchor meaning in place, in texture, in the smallest details-a red carpet, a ceramic bowl, a blueberry held on a palm. Memory Map invites readers to walk alongside, to pause at the intersections of grief and tenderness, and to consider what it means to lose our way and our memories-and still remember where we began.
