Memory is a Winged Horse is a lyrical and contemplative poetry collection by Ryan Hooper that reimagines memory as a winged horse, a fish swimming upright, or a seahorse drifting through the brain's oceanic depths. Sparked by a moment beside a wild pond in Cornwall, these poems blend vivid natural imagery with meditations on time, loss and the fragile architecture of remembrance.
Moving through grief, solitude and quiet revelation, Hooper finds beauty in imperfection and meaning in transience.
With precision and grace,
Memory is a Winged Horse invites readers to reconsider how we hold, lose and reshape the past - and reminds us that to explore is sometimes the only answer we need.
