Editor's Note:
FROM THE AUTHOR: Ars Memoria, or the art of memory, is a technique used much in classical rhetoric for "storing" information within places both real and imagined, as well as in the generation of new texts. As an Appalachian writer in diaspora, I am constantly navigating the liminal space between real, remembered, and imaginary space — between memory and creation. These poems were written around the full moon of March 2020 — called the "worm moon" — and the beginning of social distancing measures due to COVID-19. They are primarily elegiac in tone, and address a friend of mine recently lost to Heroin/Oxycontin addiction. As the "boy" of the poems, he serves, in a larger sense, for that large cohort of mine destroyed by the systematic destruction and neglect of Appalachian people. The alchemical process of death and rebirth, of refinement in fire, is here applied as an almost funerary text, grieving the lost "boy" of Appalachian youth, the lost places of Appalachia itself, and recognizing the beginning of the larger historical moment.One of three winners of the 2020 Thornwillow Patrons' Prize
