The Shape of Memory
What We Carry, What We BecomeBy D.S.E.A.
Length45m
About this audiobook
The Shape of Memory explores what we carry from the past—and who we become while carrying it. In sixteen poems, D.S.E.A. moves through inherited fears, grief, love, work, and the quiet struggle to be understood. An architect stops at a single word. A familiar voice lingers in an empty room. A sentence waits for someone who can no longer answer. These intimate encounters ask how memory shapes identity, and what it takes to keep the past close without surrendering the present. Personal author’s notes accompany every poem, bringing the reader closer to the experiences and questions behind the words.
