SUMMARY:Manchester Literature Festival presents Alice Vincent
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy an evening with acclaimed writer and podcaster Alice Vincent as she discusses her new book Hark: How Women Listen – an intimate\, lyrical exploration of what women listen to\, what their worlds sound like\, and how it feels to be expected to listen in a world of noise made by men.  \n Alice returns to her roots as a music journalist to examine the role of sound in women’s lives\, from the overwhelming noise of motherhood to the quiet power of nature. Prompted by the birth of her child and the sensory overload of modern life\, Hark traces her journey to rediscover listening as a restorative\, grounding force. Alice invites us to hear more deeply\, from nightingales to phantom cries\, and to consider sound as a way of reclaiming presence\, identity\, and connection.   \n “I loved this exploration of the way sound lands in female bodies. Alice Vincent is on song” – Katherine May  \n Longlisted twice for the Wainwright Prize\, Alice Vincent is a bestselling author\, Guardian columnist\, and host of the Why Women Grow podcast. Her books include Rootbound: Rewilding a Life and Why Women Grow. Presented by Manchester Literature Festival and supported by Library Live.  \nBook tickets here or click ‘Book Now’ below
