"Madeleine Marie Slavick and Barbara Baker met three years ago at one of the rare poetry reading venues in Hong Kong, the Chinese University. They recognised similarities when they heard each other read, and have collaborated since on several projects, the latest being a book of poems and photographs about Asia, titled Round....Most of the photographs in Round are Slavick's. She has worked as a professional photographer as well as writing poetry. Much of her photography in the book has the quality of painting, concentrating on texture, colour and line."
