When you come to visit me you will notice books even before you enter the house.The environment in which I live is both coastal and rural. Books are everywhere. Books in the garden, books on the walkway, books in trees, books on the clothesline, books in the mud, books in piles, books tied up with string, books coming unstitched and unglued, books whose pages have escaped in the wind, books I’ve painted, books I’ve cut, books I’ve buried, books with gooey snails on them, books mossified, books eaten, books staked, books burned, books wormed, books seeping ink, books hanging, books leaf-embossed.
