Naked Listening

The Wisdom of Transparency

At its core, this memoir is a look at being willing to divest ourselves of judgment, prejudice, and pettiness to uncover a heart that longs to be seen. These vignettes, essays and poems are a testimonial to the power inherent in relinquishing a modicum of control of what most of us so steadfastly want to hold onto—our self-image.

His Debut Memoir

Alan Hundley

A long-time lover of good books, poetry, and stories, Alan began taking writing classes at Women Writing for a Change in 2014. Naked Listening is his first book. Alan lives with his wife, Kathleen, and their Maltese Poodle, Luigi, in the Clifton Gaslight region of Cincinnati, Ohio. They also have a property near the Red River Gorge in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, called Three Waters Sanctuary.
