Forgetting Tree: A Rememory, Paperback - Rae Paris
A perfect blending of prose, poetry, and images, The Forgetting Tree is a unique and thought-provoking collection that argues for a deeper understanding of past and present so that we might imagine a more hopeful, sustainable, and loving future. The collection is not fully prose or poetry, but more of an extended funeral program or a prayer for those who have passed through us. After the death of her father in 2011, the fiction Paris had been writing gave way to poetry and short prose, which were heavily influenced by the questions she'd long been considering about narrative, power, memory, and freedom.
