This book explores how malleable and unreliable memory can be; how it manifests in the body: mentally, physically, emotionally; how it mutates and betrays as we age. Through a series of scientific and historical briefs, poetic meditations and memory experiments, I invite the reader to witness my attempt of rewriting moments of trauma while coming to terms with a family in the early stages of memory loss.application/pdfen-USnoneCreative WritingPoeticsFine artsTo Be AssignedThesis
