Masquerade book golden hare6/24/2023 ![]() So my daughter Flo and I set off on a treasure hunt to Gloucestershire. But would you like to come to a private view at our cottage? With this in mind I recently wrote to Kit, asking if he ever illustrates poems, thinking that there might be a small chance he would offer to illustrate a whole book of mine for free, seeing as he was my greatest influence and that some symbiosis would therefore exist which would magically take care of boring stuff like money and the fact that I am not as good a poet as I think I am. Masquerade has become a very real memory – like a place I’ve been to. At points I existed inside that book, the same way I would sit in the garage by the tumble dryer listening to the birds sing. So it was for me as a child when I read my favourite book Masquerade by Kit Williams. In those books, what we are actually talking about is a) windows and b) escape. ![]() In certain books it’s hard to even call those things ‘pictures’ because that sort of suggests something flat and two dimensional that you can rest your cup of tea on. ![]() Anyone who loves reading knows that there’s only one thing better than words. ![]()
