Intimate Power: Autobiography of a City is a meditation on forms of personal losses that we carry 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 generations, be it slavery, famine, war, asylum, or exile. The book is a series of walks through Liverpool made on a return journey from a feeling of 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. Catherine Morris walks through versions of herself in Liverpool via twenty-one episodes that she names after revolutions: moments in which transformations occur. Each episode is separated by an intersection of “Walking” that carries the words of the living and of the dead.
