SUMMARY:Talks | Catherine Morris in conversation with Eve Patten and Klaus 
 Ottmann at Hodges Figgis
DESCRIPTION:\nPlease join us for a conversation between author CATHERINE MO
 RRIS\, Irish critic EVE PATTEN\, and Spring editor KLAUS OTTMANN about Mor
 ris’s new book\, Intimate Power: Autobiography of a City\, at HODGES FIG
 GIS in Dublin on September 25 from 6 to 8 pm.\n\n\n\nIntimate Power: Autob
 iography of a City is a meditation on forms of personal losses that we car
 ry with us all our lives. It simultaneously serves as a recovery of voice 
 for the kinds of trauma that the city has carried through successive gener
 ations\, be it slavery\, famine\, war\, asylum\, or exile. The book is a s
 eries of walks through Liverpool made on a return journey from a feeling o
 f long exile. It is a recovery of voice through which the author situates 
 parts of her own life into a collective solidarity that she sought out in 
 conversations\, chance encounters and in the stories that she uncovered in
  the city’s local and international multimedia archives.\n\n\n\nCATHERIN

 ook Alice Milligan and the Irish Cultural Revival (Dublin: Four Courts Pre

  began under the auspices of the Analytical Psychology Club of New York as
  Spring Journal during the Second World War\, bringing the ideas of C.G. J
 ung into American translations. Its logo (the ram and the goat) symbolizes
  the focus of the press. The ram's forward push and the goat's backward lo
 ok recall a Renaissance idea: that one best moves forward by looking back 
 to history and tradition. The animals are poised over a watery\, reed-rimm
 ed pool\, emblems of reflection and the soul—a major theme in many SPRIN
 G books. SPRING has been publishing books about soul-making since 1970\, b
 lurring the lines between art\, philosophy\, the history of ideas\, psychi
 atry\, mythology\, literature\, and religion.\n\n\n\nFor more information
