I went to see the little display of Hazel Press books at the London Review Bookshop, a small way of commemorating Daphne Astor who set the press up during lockdown in a flurry of creative activity.
It encouraged me to watch the short film she made during lockdown of her thoughts and feelings – meditative and so incredibly responsive to her surroundings, beautiful as they were. She was astonishingly productive in a totally private, undemonstrative way, jotting down thoughts and ideas and images all through her life.
