Award-winning poet Raymond Antrobus speaks about sound, identity, listening, and finding a voice to Alice Vincent, twice Wainwright Prize-longlisted author of Why Women Grow.
British-Jamaican writer Raymond Antrobus was first diagnosed as #Deaf at the age of seven. In his new book ‘The Quiet Ear: An Investigation of Missing Sound’ he presents a ground-breaking exploration of deafness and exploring what it means to live in between the deaf and hearing worlds.
Alice Vincent’s Hark: How Women Listen charts a journey into sound that will ring true for many women; one of listening, seeking connection, and striving to be heard in a world that has grown too distracted and loud.
This event will be chaired by Katherine May.
BSL/English Interpreter: Steve Hudson (subject to change)
Books will be sold at the talk and online by The Bookshop at Canterbury Christ Church University.
