Abstract
Given a compact, oriented surface of finite genus and finitely many boundary components, we provide examples of finite covers of and non-simple closed curves on which lifts to simple closed curves on . In particular, given any positive integer , we construct explicit non-simple closed curves on which has a simple lift to a degree cover of .
