The Memory Field – Jake Skeets

In this narrated essay, poet Jake Skeets enters into the memories
he shares through touch and, in doing so, conjures a deep reverence
for the spaces we remember. From a stubbled chin and stucco wall to
bloody knees and tadpoles, the memories he shares are held in the
physicality of the body. It is through what he calls “radical
remembering,” which carries us across the time and space of
existence, that he unfolds these “memory fields” through language
and storytelling and offers this Diné perspective of time, memory,
and land. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
