In Memory Yet Green

In Memory Yet Green

"In Memory Yet Green" is the first volume of Isaac Asimov's two-volume autobiography. It was published in 1979. This first volume covers the years 1920 to 1954, which lead up to the point just prior to Asimov becoming a full time writer. The second volume is "In Joy Still Felt".

The publisher, Doubleday, disliked Asimov's original title, so they asked him to provided another, suggesting he find a good quote from a poem. Asimov suggested the following poem:

:"In memory yet green, in joy still felt, ":"The scenes of life rise sharply into view." :"We triumph; Life's disasters are undealt, ":"And while all else is old, the world is new."

Doubleday immediately agreed and asked him to whom the poem should be attributed. "It just came to me" answered Asimov, who had written it himself. In the end, the poem was attributed to "anon."

"In Joy Still Felt" is the second part of Isaac Asimov's autobiography. It covers the years 1954 to 1978.
