We Are Our Memories and Other Writings
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 and
Other Writings, 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 and Other Writings, 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 and Other Writings, 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.
