October 2nd Hull Central Library our own Lynda Harrison will be guesting at Women of Words, an opportunity she says to deliver what will hopefully become a 'TEDx Talk'. This is the first step, so where better to take it than in the place she feels most at home, the safe and friendly space that is Women of Words taking place upstairs in the James Reckitt Reading Room, first Wednesday of the month 2 - 4pm.
The talk 'I'm Still Here' refers to life lived in a loud world where Lynda says she often struggled to hear her own voice. It tells of a life with cracks. It tells of a quest to adjust the volume and to fill in the cracks. In other words the search, for an antidote to life. Highly relatable! 'Now that's got to be an idea worth spreading. Hasn't it?
Join us from 2pm in the James Reckitt Reading Room upstairs – lift access available – We run the open mic at our monthly event each slot – strictly five minutes, please time your pieces at home beforehand – the list will open about half past one. This time constraint is vital to encourage different voices and subject matters, thus creating a varied listening experience for the audience. And there will be a break, where we will pass around the hat for donations. The suggested donation is two pounds per person. If you can’t donate we understand, it is not mandatory.
Women of Words is an event series and platform for women writers, set up in 2016 as a response to what was then a male dominated scene. The stage is reserved for women, but men are and have always been, welcome in the audience.
Who: Lynda Harrison
When: Wednesday Oct 2nd 2 – 4pm
Where: Hull Central Library 1st Floor James Reckitt Reading Rooms. Lift access is available.
