Memory is a selection of poems that reconciles the past and the present. It is a celebration of thought infused with personal recollections and hypothetical musings, demonstrating the power of accepting experiences in order to move past them. The poems read like visions from the author’s mind, and he reveals the demons that plague his memory and keep him second-guessing at the turn of every page. Abi Akl delivers his words with crude honesty and philosophical sensibility.
