"For me, writing poetry seems very similar to making visual art. I think of my paintings as painted poems. In this book, I put in a selection of paintings to illustrate this point. They seem to come from the same mysterious place. Someone said that poems are like 'a stream of consciousness set to music.' Interesting how the pictures and poems work together." Anders Shafer
