AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Edited by Cassandra Atherton and Jessica L. Wilkinson, Memory Book is a collection of poetic portraits of Australians over seventy-five, each poem accompanied by a watercolour portrait of the subject. The editors have conceived the work as a ‘meeting point’ between the subject, the poet and the reader. It is a work well done. The watercolours are integral to the presentation; the portraits, both artistic and poetic, a reminder of the human face of experience. I admit that, as an older person, as the introduction asserts, I often ‘feel silenced or invisible’. This collection is a welcome attempt at a rebuttal of ageism, the ‘last sanctioned prejudice’.'
