Presents a collection of moments suspended in time: a line of poetry, forgotten for years and remembered as often; a photograph cut out of a 1942 newspaper that saves its subjects not from death but from oblivion; and, a fond memory of a bookshop in Southwark, where books feed a love of literature and a life-long friendship.
