Over the Water: Writing Belonging

Dramatist and singer Lizzie Nunnery on growing up in Liverpool and taking the city's beaches for granted. She explains the character of the people and her sensibility as a writer.

Recorded by water, at the pierhead on the Mersey and on the streets of Liverpool, her essay recalls the pleasure of growing up in a city with beaches which she took for granted, then her growing awarenes of how the city grew from the meeting of the land and the sea, how the traffic of people and ideas created the identity of the place, the character of the people, and her own sensibility as a writer.
