When Memory Speaks
When Memory Speaks
A$32.35
With its intentional pun on the title of Nabokov’s autobiography, Speak, Memory, and obvious indebtedness to Wordsworth’s Prelude, Timothy Brownlow pushes his “little bark” into the treacherous tides of memory, evoking the lost paradise of his Irish childhood and youth, the various falls from grace of nationality, family, and self, the experience of
disillusionment, exile, and self-laceration, followed by a happy marriage and the gradual restoration of faith in life, love, and the enduring power of once-loved places. This re-integration of the psyche is mediated throughout by the author’s reverence for the art of poetry, which has maintained his stability through spiritual heights and depths. By coming to terms with deep rifts in his inheritance, Brownlow asserts what Wordsworth calls “the growth of the poet’s mind.”
