Memories: Blurred Buried Blotted

The title Memories encapsulates the central theme of the anthology—fragmented recollections shaped by trauma nostalgia and time. It reflects the emotional landscape of memory: blurred by time and distortion buried under layers of repression and silence and blotted by grief pain and erasure. Together they evoke the impermanence and fragility of remembering portraying memories not as a clear archive but as a living shifting presence. These poems explore how personal and collective histories leave behind traces—half-remembered distorted yet hauntingly alive—mirroring the complex human effort to make sense of what once was.
