Doesn't the term "memories of earth" crop-up in "In the Domain of Arnheim"
in Eddie's _The Second Life_?
I don't know the 1998 text. (Was it published by Hamish Whyte and the
Mariscat Press?)
I was about to say it's a small bloody universe but in fact it might be more
accurate to say it's finite but unbounded.

Oddly enough, Eddie *wasn't* that deep in the Ghetto (as instanced by his
liking for the Amber books), nor was he heavily involved in computers.
Which makes it more than mildly ironic that some of his earliest poetry
prequelled cyberpunk.
The Computer's First Christmas Poem.
There was a rumour, probably unfounded, that every one of his computer poems
was encrypted.

(Small puff -- _From Science to Psychodrama: The Poetry of Edwin Morgan and
David Black_. Out of print now, and David Black was another Scot
(Edinburgh, for once) who wrote SF poetry.
Bite your tongue, Robin, before you explain where D.M.Black's first two
books were published.
