“Entrusting “Le jour aux ignorants” (the day to the ignorant) — which, more or less, we all are — means opening for them a book in which Godelieve Vandamme's drawings and Véronique Wautier's poems, working in concert, offer colours, signs and words exchanging their rough edges and scraps; it means offering them a novice's view of reality in the making, inviting them to a sharing in which no one loses or is lost.

“The ignorant, in a dreamy burst of literacy, savour this essential and fruity offering, and curl up in its fragile counterpoints.”

Pierre Tréfois
