"I have watched on as Peter has painstakingly and lovingly worked on his artist's book A Walk for Stanley. I am sure the book will be everything that Peter is as a person and artist – dedicated to place and locality, attentive to nature, patient, alert to injustice and open to the possibilities of a better future. From the images and poetry extracts I’ve seen, I know the book will be a beautiful and fitting record of a very particular walk with a curiously universal resonance. The fact that Peter completed the book while living through a season of intense, personal grieving makes it all the more powerful and poignant – and, paradoxically, hopeful."
