A town, three cities, a fig, a riot, two blue hyacinths, three beginnings... | by Lotte L.S.

Part of Tripwire's pamphlet series, A town, three cities, a fig, a riot, two blue hyacinths, three beginnings, five letters, a “death”, two solitudes, façades, four loose dogs, a doppelgänger, a likeness, three airport floors, thirty-six weeks… by Lotte L.S. gathers four wide-ranging essays that together track a politics and a poetics through the cities of Marseille, Athens, Kyiv, and the town of Great Yarmouth, in order to ask: “When are your poetics, your politics, not implicated in another’s?” amidst the ongoing crises of our times.

With a new afterword, these reflections on protest and collectivity and poetry and solitude seek to understand what is included or excluded in the lived and languaged record of individual and communal memory.
