SUMMARY:Made in Manchester Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Visit our art installation which was commissioned to celebrate the multilingual poem ‘Made in Manchester’.  Local artist\, Emma Martin worked with nine schools to create this artwork\, with around 200 pupils creating colourful portraits of classmates onto the multiple-language verses of the Made in Manchester poem.  These portraits were cut and reformed into a finished art piece. \nLocal poet\, Zahid Hussain created his original Made in Manchester poem in English.  This was used as inspiration for a community project run by Read Manchester\, inviting local residents and school children to write some lines in response in both English and a second language/mother tongue.  From the hundreds of entries received\, sixty-three languages were selected. These entries were interwoven to create a multilingual Made in Manchester poem which will be revealed to the public on 11 June. \nFree – please drop in

SUMMARY:An Evening with Simon Armitage
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT HAS NOW SOLD OUT \nSimon Armitage presents a new collection of poems\, Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic. \nBook launch followed by book signing. \nCelebrated as ‘the most popular and prolific British poet of his generation’ (The Times) and ‘the first poet of serious artistic intent since Philip Larkin to have achieved popularity’ (Sean O’Brien)\, Simon Armitage has been involved in an astonishing assortment of projects\, commissions\, collaborations\, residencies and events over the course of his writing career. The resulting poems stand outside of his mainstream publications\, but now form a substantial body of work in their own right\, and are collected here together for the first time. \nThe contents vary from single set-pieces such as ‘Zodiac T Shirt’\, performed at the launch of Beck’s Song Reader\, to the suite of ten poems commissioned to mark the bicentenary of Branwell Bronte’s birth. Several are site-specific\, such as the Stanza Stones sequence carved into the Pennine landscape\, and the world’s first catalytic poem\, ‘In Praise of Air’\, suspended from a building at the University of Sheffield. Others developed from collaborations with film directors and visual artists\, or from large-scale literary projects such as the poet’s troubadour journeys across the UK recounted in his prose books Walking Home and Walking Away. Together they cover an eclectic array of subjects including sculpture\, the environment\, travel\, drama\, music and the media\, documenting Armitage’s wide range of interests and his unique versatility as a writer. \nAs well as representing the nature and scale of his output\, Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic demonstrates Armitage’s commitment to collaboration\, his role as poet of public engagement and his belief in poetry as an act of communication. \n‘Boundary-breaking . . . poems of emotional weight and musical grace from the fabric of our everyday lives.’ Carol Ann Duffy\, Queen’s Gold Medal for Poetry 2018 statement \n‘A poet whose work is ambitious\, accomplished and complex as well as popular.’ Sunday Telegraph \n‘Armitage is so good with the stiletto and scalpel of the vernacular he has to hand . . . image-ripe and clever\, satiric\, dystopian\, and sometimes laced with sorrow.’ Sydney Morning Herald \n‘His verse is immediate\, entertaining\, engaged with the world.’ Independent on Sunday \n‘The poet of his generation.’ Melvyn Bragg
