Abstract
The writing included here represents my attempt to tell the stories the way we
remembered them as we looked at family photos. Sometimes our memories conflicted.
Sometimes we forgot about a person or an event until someone else brought it up.
Sometimes we were certain of exactly the way it had been- until the photo showed
otherwise. And even then, we weren't always convinced that we had been in error. The
poems are about me, about my family, about people I love intensely and people I never
knew. They are about the stories that hold us together and the photographs that
commemorate the important and the not-so-important events in our lives, from birthday
parties to vacations to proms and weddings. The poems are not all flattering and they are
not all true to the way it was. But they are all true to the way we remembered it.
