Memories I've Forgotten is a vibrant, powerful vision of a life lived in the names of beauty, integrity and love. Beginning with early childhood memories, Marc Elihu Hofstadter explores his past in language that is accessible, evocative and at times humorous. Whether describing blimps seen from a penthouse in New York City, a youthful crush in Santa Cruz, California, a "porcupine" pastry enjoyed in Orl ans, France, or a rainy day in a retirement community in Walnut Creek, California, Hofstadter writes with precision and passion. His honesty is exemplary: he does not hold back on details about gay sex or mental illness. Whether celebrating the natural world or relishing the facts of urban life, this poet leads the reader to reflect on his or her own history in a modern America that is still waiting to be defined.
