What would life be without memories? Without those pieces of life retained deep inside the human soul? Our
lives are not just what we live; they are also what we have lived. Memories are latent life living within us.
They are not silent archives of our lives; they are alive, secretly breathing in the halls of our past. When we
recall experiences or events, these memories from our past become new pieces of life in our present.
Memories are us; we are our memories.
So believes Arizona’s author Ricardo M. Lucero, whose literary return with “We are our memories” preludes
just another enjoyable journey through the paths of his remarkable poetry and prose. In this his second book,
Lucero revalidates why his first book “Conversation with myself” became a reader’s favorite and valuable
piece in libraries.
“We are our memories” thus represents what in the Latino culture means “volver por sus fueros,” which in
English can be loosely interpreted as “Lucero returns to take dominion of his literary turf…”
“We are our memories” promises to reach the most profound and secretive inner places where memories rest
and await, ready to take us to reminisce again moments of our lives, places we visited, words we said,
dreams we dreamt. In this book, memories become words; words that remind us of things that were neither
gone nor lost; they were just asleep. Memories that Ricardo M. Lucero vows not to let us forget.
