In Conversation About...Writing and Wellbeing

Following the launch of this new, first of its kind, anthology, Moving Mountains: writing nature through illness and disability, editor Louise Kenward and contributors Nic Wilson and Victoria Bennett will join Joanne Limburg for a discussion on illness, disability and memoir, and the role and value of writing.

Through twenty-five pieces, the writers of Moving Mountains offer a vision of nature that encompasses the close up, the microscopic, and the vast.

From a single falling raindrop to the enormity of the north wind, this is nature experienced wholly and acutely, written from the perspective of disabled and chronically ill authors.

Moving Mountains is not about overcoming or conquering, but about living with and connecting, shifting the reader’s attention to the things easily overlooked by those who move through the world untroubled by the body that carries them.
