Here's Sarah. Isn't she lovely? I am very proud of her, and to be her friend.
I met her at the artists' residency, VCCA,
several years ago. We drew together quickly, and spent many hours
walking the paths and trails at Sweetbriar College, talking about
writing and other less august matters. Our friendship outlasted the
residency, and became another mutual residency, and then visits back and
forth across the pond. Sarah lives in England--can you hear it
in her voice?
She is an amazing writer of short stories and novels, including Getting The Picture, Leading The Dance, Something Beginning With, Tell Me Everything,
and more! She has been a Royal Literary Fellow holding the fort at The
London School of Economics, and is presently the Laureate of Canterbury,
in which role she is doing many exciting projects, some of which you can read about on her website. (See the link below, after you listen to the poem.)
Today's reading is part of Sarah's audio blog tour. You Do Not Need Another Self Help Book can be ordered from her
website. Look under the Read Me heading. It will be officially published
in March.
