I have been revisiting this Faber and Faber cover for months. Entranced by its design, it’s colours and the bold use of words. But it is only recently that I was able to encapsulate by fascination in one word: tricolon! Of course, strictly speaking this is not a tricolon but a tripartite structure that echoes the classic tricolon of past, present, future.
I HAVE LIVED
MANY LIVES
INSIDE THIS
BODY.I LIVED MANY
LIVES BEFROE
THEY PUT ME
IN THIS BODY.I WILL LIVE
MANY LIVES
WHEN THEY TAKE
ME OUT OF IT.
