Mancunian Ways

With poetry by Lemn Sissay and Jackie Hagan.

A fusion of poetry, art and photography, the Mancunian Ways anthology embodies the spirit of Manchester. It takes us on a journey through a changing city: from rousing celebrations of resilience (in the light of the Manchester Arena bombing), to showcases of talent throughout history (Manchester's inventors, artists, scientists and dreamers).

With work by Abbie Day, Alicia Fitton, Benjamin Francis Cassidy, Beverley O'Donoghue, Billy Morrissey, burn, Charlotte Murray, Cheryl Pearson, Dave Williamson, David Keyworth, Elizabeth Gibson, Estelle Price, Fiona Boylan, Jan Berry, Joseph Darlington, Kathy Zwick, Lee Garratt, Linda Goulden, Lisa O'Hare, Lou Crosby, Marie Naughton, Mark Andrew Heathcote, Nikki Culley, Olga Kenyon, Olivia Walwyn, Penny Sharman, Peter Viggers, Reshma Ruia, Rod Whitworth, Rosie Garland, Ruth Aylett, Ruth Taaffe, Sam Rose, Sarah L Dixon, Sarah Pritchard, Susan Sollazzi, Tina Otito Tamsho-Thomas, Victoria Gatehouse and Vicky Morris.

"Mancunian Ways is a convivial collection of Manchester voices - some familiar and some new. It journeys through eras, landscapes, 

subcultures and the weather! An affirmation for any true Manc and a welcome mat for those who are yet to join us." 

- Keisha Thompson, Writer, Performer and Producer
