Description
What if the origin of language were menstrual? In this cross-genre hybrid blend of languages, text, prose, and poetry readers dive into the ancient memory of original language. Anthropology, dreams, red garbage, and encounters with prairie dogs and hawks return to the age of questions: what makes us human? How did language evolve? Red Memory asks readers to forget what they've been taught and return to land, myth, dreams, and their own bodies, reclaiming the roots of language: blood and sound.
