The Tree That Remembers
Description
It is not a memoir. It is not tied to one single story. These poems are fragments of many stories about those who live in the loop of forgetfulness, about caregivers who wake up already exhausted and dreading the day. Here, you will not find sugarcoating. You will find stormy moods, broken routines, sharp outbursts, and surprising moments of tenderness. filled with endless questions, repetitive stories, and defiance regarding every simple task.
This is a book about dementia, yes... but also about love, patience, grief, and endurance.
If you have walked this road, or are walking it now, I hope you find stories of your experience in these pages. And if you haven't, may these poems help you see the world through the eyes of someone who has.
