'The colour is being lost from the leaf

with the margin still visible,

echoing the loss of

It is a powerful message

allowing you to see what once it was

where it is at

and also seems incredibly fragile'

Prof Steve Kelly

For what does it search,

The heron, picking its way

Across uneven ground?

Book Cover - On Style

'Mary's own style, evocatively delicate and subtle,

provided a cover image that complemented the essays

on this elusive phenomenon perfectly'

Dr Daniel Tyler
