  • Summary

  • In this engaging episode of Bookable Space, we’re joined by Joanne Limburg. Joanne reads from Small Pieces and talks to us about writing grief, taking care of yourself while writing, and writing as a monument.


    About the book

    When Joanne Limburg's brother Julian took his own life, she found herself holding the fragments of a shattered family narrative. In Small Pieces, she assembles them into a new pattern, with pieces from their shared childhood, their wider family history, their Jewish background, the three-year period between her brother's death and that of her mother, and the ten strange days after his death, spent in the town where he lived and died.


    About the author

    Joanne Limburg grew up in NW London. She published her first poetry collection with Bloodaxe Books, Femenismo, in 2000. Since then, there have been two further poetry collections for adults, one for children, three non-fiction books and one novel. Her most recent book is Letters to my Weird Sisters: on Autism and Feminism. She lives in Cambridge and teaches at the Cambridge Institute of Continuing Education.
