Poet Louise Vale reading her own ‘Paths’ (2016)
Wapping 13 7 2016
The poet at my table. Louise Vale recording at Chimney Court, Wapping (12 7 16). The quilt on the table is by another dear friend, Monika Machon
I was introduced to Louise Vale by my wife, the writer Malene Skaerved, some years ago. I was instantly struck by the delicacy and sensitivity of her ear and eye. She has written me some wonderful poetry about music, but ‘Paths’ is rather different. It takes, as its starting point, drawings, paintings and photographs of my walking over the past few years.
