Book Description
"Dear Writing, What have you done to me?" What was this unseen, but powerful force that I couldn't seem to escape the grip of? Part of me loved it, and part of me hated it. How could it take control of my conscious mind and shape my every thought before I could even think it? Furthermore, how could I love and hate the very same thing at the very same time? Why now, why me? Moving forward meant finding answers and this was proving to be no easy task. The letters that make up this book combine many aspects of my life: trampoline, coaching, school, singing, etc. The way all of this fits together, like pieces to a puzzle, form one common purpose and goal: a passion for living. Writing... Passion. Waiting with hope, Amanda

Book Description
A collection of literary letters and mementos on the art of remembering across generations. For poet Victoria Chang, memory “isn’t something that blooms, but something that bleeds internally.” It is willed, summoned, and dragged to the surface. The remembrances in this collection of letters are founded in the fragments of stories her mother shared reluctantly, and the silences of her father, who first would not and then could not share more. They are whittled and sculpted from an archive of family relics: a marriage license, a letter, a visa petition, a photograph. And, just as often, they are built on the questions that can no longer be answered. Dear Memory is not a transcription but a process of simultaneously shaping and being shaped, knowing that when a writer dips their pen into history, what emerges is poetry. In carefully crafted missives on trauma and loss, on being American and Chinese, Victoria Chang shows how grief can ignite a longing to know yourself. In letters to family, past teachers, and fellow poets, as the imagination, Dear Memory offers a model for what it looks like to find ourselves in our histories.
