sext from Fossil Oil: a book of hours

Sext a site responsive poem figured in relation to repeated visits during lunchbreaks to Lincoln’s Inn Fields in Holborn, London. The text references histories of the area alongside recorded observations and partial fragments of narrative incident. The central image of this interval or section is an image of a fuddling cup, parts of which were dug up in the vicinity in an archaeological dig. A fuddling cup is made up of “three or more jars or jugs with bodies of interconnection” and Olsen’s text seeks to establish relational links between the different elements under a slogan drawn from a 1970s Shell catalogue, ‘Oil is for Everybody’.
