Friday 20 April • PAM ZINNEMANN HOPE: ON CIGARETTEPAPERS • BOOK LAUNCH


DORCHESTER ARTS CENTRE • 8pm (doors and bar 7.30pm) •
An extraordinary story begins with Pam’s parents’ elopement from Nazi Germany. After her mother’s death in 1990, Pam finds a tiny pile of cigarette papers with writing penciled in Russian in her hand. Surely these are recipes? 
They are the starting point for a journey of discovery, stretching from 1905 to 1995, a story of love and exile, dislocation and survival. 
“The cigarette papers of Pam Zinnemann-Hope’s title stand for the frailty and resilience of her grandparents, parents and their contemporaries. Pam’s poems, written in idiosyncratic, sometimes fractured voices, tell a secret history and allow us insights into a wounded century andits personal legacy.” (Paul Hyland)
