Collectively, these thirteen pieces acknowledge the power of memory and desire. Who would we be without our memories, both the good and the bad? The desire to remember, and to memorialize, is often cathartic: sometimes we summon painful memories (and memorialize them by writing them down) in order to process, hopefully make sense of and possibly forget them. And sometimes our desire for memory results in a memory of desire, as when we fondly, or not so fondly, look back on a first or second love.
