In these memories require, poet and writer Jacinta Le Plastrier works across a range of memories, and not only those which are her own. In this endeavour of more than a decade she seeks: how does one write others' memories, meaningfully, ethically and impactfully? How does one write one's own when they are linked, and at times painfully, to the lives of others? Memory is also collective, she believes, and a commitment to fearless witnessing - and knowing whether it is yours to write or not - essential. Some of the poetry engages with scholarship on trauma and memory. Away from this, others write on joy, childhood - its pure and darker moments, intimacy and love; also on the supernatural, an abiding passion of the writer.
