Oblivescence is Kelly R. Samuels' second full-length collection of poetry, a book carried by a daughter's relationship with her mother as they navigate the latter's struggle with dementia due to Alzheimer's-a condition that approximately 6.5 million Americans are battling. This book of memory and loss is rich in imagery as well as metaphor, and threaded with allusions to Greek mythology, clinical psychology and gardening. Readers of all kinds, but especially caregivers, mothers, daughters, and medical staff, are sure to be moved by this written exploration of what it means to remember.
