Letterpress printed in a limited edition of only 500 copies during the COVID-19 summer of 2020, A Memory of Elephants is a deeply reflective, introspective and confessional collection of poems that explore the mysteries of a mental disorder, regret for things left unsaid to parents before their passing, tribal identity, raising sons in the urban world, the power of love, questions to God.
