Forget Me Not: Forget Me Not

By: Keyes, Oquirrh

For a long time, I thought healing meant forgetting. It doesn't. I remember all of it. I just don't live there anymore.Forget Me Not is the final book of The Quiet Whispers Trilogy, a verse memoir by award-winning poet Oquirrh Keyes. In the quiet calendar, she counted the days of silence after a ten-year affair ended. In Careless Whispers, she went back to reveal the fire that came before it. Forget Me Not is what came after: a woman turning away from the man she loved and toward the life that was waiting for her all along.These poems are about the things she took back. A cuff. A ring. A key. Her voice. They speak with respect to his wife, who was never her enemy, and with honesty about her own part in what happened. They hold anger without letting it rule, and accountability without self-erasure. And they find their way home, to a marriage chosen again, to family, and to a mother whose belief made this book possible.Illustrated throughout with original graphite artwork by the author, Forget Me Not rewards close attention. Images and objects return from the earlier books, changed by time, and careful readers will find clues hidden in plain sight.For anyone who has had to find themselves again on the other side of love, and for readers of The Quiet Whispers Trilogy ready to see how the story ends.
