Keeping away the spiders: Anne Pia on joy & possibility

We are master builders in the construction and reconstruction of our selves - sometimes we need reminding of that, of our capacity for joy in hard times, of possibility, of potential.

In a series of honest, often humorous and brutally frank essays, Anne Pia asks  ‘Who am I and who do I want to be?' and invites her readers to do the same.

The essays draw from her life’s most challenging experiences, along with her exhilaration at the transformative power of music and learning, clothes and fashion.

‘No one can question Pia’s lust for life... unquestionably a fire sign, fuelled for creativity, experiment, exploration and expansion, with bravado enough to voice her view; a feminist in the face of ‘male oracles’. This book is a tentative embrace with poetry.’ - Janette Ayachi
