We Are Our Memories by Ricardo M. Lucero

"To serve and educate"

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.
