As Lucy said we were enjoying ourselves and to use her phrase we thought it would be good to show “the reverse side of the tapestry” with all the knots and bits and bobs.

Reading through them a month or so later, they did seem rather long-winded and digressive; at the time we were just enjoying ourselves and found it hard to stop!
Thanks to Anna, too, of course, for being such a creative and positive collaborator.

I loved the finished poems and images, finding them deep, multi-layered and subtle. it all became much deeper, more subtle and the layers multiplied, however, on reading your process notes. The time spent, your generosity and carefulness in sharing the process of your work together, stagger me. It feels like an amazing gift and a wonderful demonstration of what this precise medium – the blog/ezine type of publication, combining varying degrees of formality and informality with very high editing standards; the fact that you had both been reading/viewing and appreciating each other’s work over some time, so had a feel for where your cooperation might go; your subsequent submission of other material generated by this same joint project to another online publication: it’s all so rich and satisfying. Thank you!

It is clear that without each other’s input, the poems and images which Anna and Lucy produced separately but prompted by each other, could not have taken the shape they did. The progress notes show how modern technolgy speeds up the process and allows people who have never met off the screen to interact quickly and effectively. Almost a new art form! And elegantly developed here.
