Notes:
"There's a string of poems, and they have their own emotional wave to them, and parallel to that there are a string of images, whole-page images, with huge black, blue-black borders--that's the start of something else too--and these run parallel to the poetry, and hopefully have their own particular way. It's a musical thing in a way. [The images are] a set of photographs of some wonderful windows in a small house in France where the very tall, skinny glass panes open inwards, and these very tall skinny wooden things opened outwards, and their different intercessions in the visual plane that I thought were delightful, and I took a lot of photographs at different times of day. So, they opened in the morning, they were wide open in the noon, and they closed towards the evening. I think it was a sequence of about five photographs. The notion was, the locked windows of the mind opened and lots of random things came in, and then the thing closed down towards the end of the book. It was a few ways through the window; the poems were different notions of freedom."--Ken Campbell, from The word returned.
