Colours Nailed to the Mast

Exploring the concept of absence, this book delves into the author's poetic journey, highlighting how gaps and losses shape creativity. Rather than a traditional memoir, it presents an "immemoir," reflecting on the interplay between memory and poetry. The essays reveal a quest for meaning through language, likening poems to golems that strive for life. The author grapples with dreams that feel influenced by an external consciousness, suggesting a deeper connection to a history beyond personal experience.
