ASHLEY HICKSON-LOVENCE: ABOUT TO FALL APART

Hear from one of the most gifted & kinetic voices in contemporary fiction as we invite ASHLEY HICKSON-LOVENCE to guide us into a weekend as seen through the eyes & pen of Aidy: a father, looking for his mother, all while writing the short story about a footballer that he feels could dispel the pervasive feeling that everything is ABOUT TO FALL APART.

The event will be chaired by Voce Writer-in-Residence TAYLOR BURNS
