Foreword

As a songwriter, having worked with the poetry of Malcolm Guite, I know something of having my own artistry deepened by another’s. It’s a wonder, really, to find yourself delving into regions you’d never have come to on your own, and yet the work is still yours. Alternatively, as someone whose artistry has inspired paintings by Faye Hall, I also know something of what it’s like to have one’s work taken up by another and transmuted into an entirely different form. I’ve literally “seen” my songs as paintings: colour and shape and motion and contrast and texture and … well … mystery. It is enough to leave one still and silent in awe.
