Words I don’t say aloud
MIRIAM CUMMINGS
Words I don’t say aloud is a beautiful exploration of grief and the environmental cost of technology-mediated memory. Miriam’s writing elevates life’s small details into poetry, and illustrates just how deeply our world is connected. Both moving and informative, this piece will stay with me for a long time.
