A Reading Life, A Writing Life, with Sally Bayley

Acclaimed writer Sally Bayley lives on a narrowboat, surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature, sustained by reading and writing. In this series, she invites us into her life, showing us how books have the power to change your life. Sally has recently been diagnosed with an auto-immune disease, but this is not a misery memoir podcast; she shows us how literature and connection to nature can console and give courage and insight. The series is produced by Andrew Smith, James Bowen, Lucie Richter-Mahr, and Dylan Gwalia.To find out more about Sally please visit: https://sallybayley.com.

    Serendipity
    As I hadn’t heard of Sally Bayley, I found this series quite by accident when doing a search for “Porius” (John Cowper Powys). The very first episode spoke volumes and promised further meditations to come against the noise and haste which increasingly defines our world. Wherever she is today, I wish our host the best.
