Stories, poetry, histories and memories are all shared in our fortnightly podcast created by Lewisham libraries staff. We started collecting material at the beginning of Covid-19 lockdown in April 2020 and shared them with customers and residents through Facebook as the weekly series “Lewisham Voices”. We are now publishing them more widely through this podcast. There are memories from residents of growing up in Lewisham during the 1950s, and local author Caleb Azumah Nelson reflects on a more recent childhood. Poets recite their poetry, and authors read whole stories or share special chapters from their novels. Historians remember famous residents such as Olaudah Equiano and Robert Browning, and a theatre company reveals how they involve the community in their productions. Each fortnight the podcast will have a different theme or format – but the link is always “words”. Keep in touch.

Novelist Claire Cooper (whose nom de plume is C J Cooper) recorded this for Lewisham Voices during the Spring lockdown 2021. She lives in Lewisham and writes psychological thrillers. The Book Club published in 2019 is a dark thriller revolving around a village book group with neighbours you really wouldn’t want to spend the evening with. Her latest, The Verdict is set in Lewisham, and is an edgy tale of obsession and revenge.
Claire talks about her writing and the books she enjoys, and reads the beginning of her novel The Verdict for us.
The video of this recording is in Lewisham Voices on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/LewishamLibraries
Copies of her books are in our libraries.
