NEWS: Visions of Llandaff by John Freeman & Chris Humphrey
‘… I’m seeing things,
but more than seeing is the feeling –
the way the permeation of water
through air under tall trees and taller spire
creates a soft fellowship in which things,
bloom and are tenderly magnified…’
The Lonely Press is proud to present, Visions of Llandaff, an exquisite collaboration between the poet John Freeman and the photographer, Chris Humphrey. Featuring thirty colour photographs placed alongside some of Roland Mathias Prizewinner John Freeman’s most evocative poetry, this is a book to treasure.
Visions of Llandaff is available now and can be ordered from our Online Shop for £9 plus p&p.
John Freeman will be reading from Visions of Llandaff this Tuesday at the Melville Centre in Abergavenny.
