Memento Mori A Poetic Memoir in Three Parts

Memento Mori: A Poetic Memoir in Three Parts is a powerful poetry collection, chronicling Porzuczek's visceral journey from naive invincibility to hard-won wisdom. Through three distinct sections, this memoir navigates pivotal moments that reshaped her understanding of mortality and strength: surviving a near-death experience, seeking justice in its aftermath, and ultimately discovering how to heal and find self-love again. From midnight emergency room visits to interrogations, this raw trauma memoir compels readers through an unflinching account of personal transformation. With each poem revealing that true resilience isn't merely about survival-it's about turning our deepest wounds into sources of strength. In a world where time is precious and the past unchangeable, Porzuczek shows how to not just endure life's unexpected turns, but flourish despite them.
