From the publisher
Now You Can Look is a collection of poems by Julia Bird. With full-colour illustrations by Anna Vaivare.
“He gets the tea trays and she sets out the tray cloths –
one with the needle-lace border, the other repeating
a thatch-roofed cottage pattern. He tells herthe story of the man who sold him quarter of a pound
of mushrooms and she sees, sliced, the black gills
and the white caps, the caps’ day and the gills’ night.He dizzies sic eggs with a fork in a pint-pot and she
takes down the pan which needs two hands, lights
the gas and turns its hissing lily up to full.”– ‘The Artist and Her Husband Make Omelettes at a Quarter to Three on a Saturday Afternoon’, from Now You Can Look.
