My Life in Moments: A Poetic Memoir

By Jessica Amos

This sweet and intimate poetic memoir by Jessica Amos, invites you to question the nuance of memory and how it changes over time, just as we do. Who’s to say why we remember the things we do, and forget others? What evidence is there that what we remember is how things actually happened? And even more confounding, how is it that the stories and memories told to us by those who came before us, somehow become our own?

Rave Reviews:

“All I could think of was your sweet, happy little face and I had an overwhelming urge to use roses and fancy cakes from the 70s… so that’s what I did.”
—Danielle Krysa, cover artist and author of Creative Block

“Jessica Amos’ debut memoir shakes out like a polaroid in hand, sparse impressions patiently waiting their turn to shine and illuminate deeper truths and histories. And when they do, BOOM! You, dear reader, are gifted a revelation in form and function that is both unique and universally profound.”
—Robyn Saunders-Wilson, author of Junkyard Princess

“My Life in Moments is so deep and intriguing. It’s like a movie you can watch a hundred times and still find parts you didn’t notice before.”
—Bri McDonald

“Amos’s visceral imagery takes you by the hand, showing you her earliest memories and stories… sharing secrets, trusting them in your care, and you leave feeling the weight of an invisible friendship bracelet she sneakily tied around your wrist.”
—Katie Gilmour, author of This Changes Everything, This Changes Nothing

“The writing lingers in that beautiful, in-between space where memories are fragmented and tender, leaving room for curiosity, wonder, and imagination to unfold. I found myself wanting more, yet appreciating that sense of incompleteness—because that’s how memory works.”
— Jocelyn Fitzgerald, author of EMDR and Creative Arts Therapy
