SUMMARY:Manchester Literature Festival presents WritersMosaic: Mona Arshi\, Karen McCarthy Woolf & Roger Robinson
DESCRIPTION:Nature writing has seen a powerful resurgence in recent years\, but we must ask—whose voices are being heard? And who is being welcomed into the landscape?  \nIn this thoughtful reading and conversation\, John Siddique of WritersMosaic hosts acclaimed poets and co-editors Mona Arshi and Karen McCarthy Woolf and T.S. Eliot Prize-winner Roger Robinson. Together\, they reflect on Nature Matters\, the new Faber anthology\, and explore the deep connections between earth\, spirit\, and the human experience—from a perspective too often underrepresented in the genre.  \nThis event offers a chance to listen differently\, to hear how nature lives in language beyond the usual frames\, and to be in conversation with writers who bring a vital\, expansive gaze to the page.  \nMona Arshi’s poetry collections include Small Hands\, Dear Big Gods and Mouth. She was poet in residence at Cley Marshes\, Norfolk in 2020 and is co-editor of Nature Matters: Vital Poems from the Global Majority.   \nKaren McCarthy Woolf is the author of two poetry collections and editor of numerous anthologies including Mapping the Future and Nature Matters: Vital Poems from the Global Majority. Her verse novel Top Doll was shortlisted for the T S Eliot and Jhalak Prizes and she is the winner of the Jerwood Prize for Poetry 2025.  \nRoger Robinson is a writer and educator who has taught and performed worldwide. He was chosen by Decibel as one of 50 writers who have influenced the black-British writing canon. He won the T.S. Eliot Prize with A Portable Paradise and collaborated with Johny Pitts on Home Is Not A Place.  \nPresented by Manchester Literature Festival in partnership with WritersMosaic.
