The Built Moment

The Built Moment by Lavinia Greenlaw is a reflective poetry collection divided into two sections: one exploring themes of loss and memory through her father's experience with Alzheimer's, and the other focusing on possibilities, hope, and remembrance. The poems meditate on the nature of presence, memory, and what we hold onto as life unfolds, blending personal reflections with cultural references. Through its contemplative approach, the collection examines how age and mortality influence what we create, cherish, and release.
