The Hotel Letters

J. L. Baxat

'The Hotel Letters' by J.L. Baxat is a unique longform poetical exploration of transient spaces and fleeting moments. Written entirely on notepaper from hotels, bars, airports, cafés, and restaurants during Baxat's travels throughout Europe between 1998 and 2008, 'The Hotel Letters' transforms mundane travel ephemera into a canvas for poetic reflections, each piece capturing the ambiance and character of its origin, blending sensory impressions, memories, and inventions. This rich tapestry of poems & micro-fictions transcends traditional poetic boundaries, challenging notions of permanence and emphasising the urgency and intimacy of the poetic voice.
