A characteristic feature of Milada Součková’s works consists in her references to her own and her family’s memories. She often combines the memories and returns to the past with ekphrastic descriptions of the photographs. This is her way to set in order (in words and pictures) the occurrences that have already happened. The photographs become sources that enliven the memory images. They activate memory and connect memories into chains of mnemonic associations. The present article explores the references in Milada Součková’s poetry and prose texts to the photographs.
