The opening of "Embers, Complete" introduces readers to a preface and a proem, setting a reflective and nostalgic tone. Parker expresses initial reluctance to publish the collection but is swayed by friends’ encouragement, indicating that these poems stem from personal memories and emotions. The proem features a dialogue with an angel about the value of memory, suggesting that the author considers personal experience and remembrance essential to the human condition.
