In a previous life
I was an
author's editor, a commissioning editor, an art editor, a publisher. These were
all some of the diverse aspects of my work which I very much enjoyed over many
years. I had two major kinds of relationships which fed and challenged me
creatively: my relationship with the book and its contents as a whole, and of
course the fundamental relationship with the creator - the author and/or
artist.
It was always my
ambition that the latter relationship should be a partnership, co-dependent,
and co-creative, and so I found it moving to find Gunter Grass's poem, words in
farewell to his editor Helmut Frielinghaus at the back of the
Review section of today's Guardian newspaper.

I can see how very moving this poem is for you, Olga. It is interesting for some of us to see what this kind of relationship is.
I was surprised to learn that Gunter Grass was also an artist; this piece is lovely.
Yes, Marja-Leena, Grass has a lovely visual as well as verbal touch with his pen.
