On Care and Listening: Mina Holland and Alice Vincent

TALK On Care and Listening: Mina Holland and Alice Vincent

Mina Holland and Alice Vincent discuss their latest books, Hark: How Women Listen and Lifeblood: A Mother in Search of Hope. This conversation moderated by journalist India Rakuson will explore themes of motherhood, care, sound and listening through the eyes of these two authors.

Lifeblood is a raw, honest and moving memoir of caring for a baby with a rare and life-threatening illness and learning to look beyond the normal and cherish the precious present.

Like so many of us, Alice Vincent had become overwhelmed by the sensory overload punctuating our every moment. And then, a baby’s heartbeat arrived. Hark is a personal quest to rediscover sound as something alive and vital and restorative.
