SUMMARY:Faustus: Cotton Famine Poems
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a celebration of the poetry of the Lancashire Cotton Famine (1861-65)\, featuring an exclusive performance by the traditional folk band Faustus\, who have set several of the poems to music. The Lancashire Cotton Famine is a fascinating period in British history; largely caused by the Union blockade of Confederacy slave-grown cotton exports during the American Civil War\, it led to mass unemployment across Lancashire. Despite their hardship\, many labourers drew inspiration from their situation\, to pen moving and satirical poems.  This previously-neglected body of poems has recently been collected from local Victorian newspapers in the Lancashire and Manchester area\, through a major research project led by Dr Simon Rennie (University of Exeter). Faustus are a highly-respected ensemble\, made up of three of the leading lights of their generation: Benji Kirkpatrick (Seth Lakeman Band\, Bellowhead)\, Saul Rose (Waterson:Carthy\, Whapweasel) and Paul Sartin (Bellowhead\, Belshazzar’s Feast).

SUMMARY:Finding the Poetry of the Cotton Famine: Workshop
DESCRIPTION:THIS WORKSHOP IS NOW FULLY BOOKED \nThis fascinating interactive workshop\, led by researchers on the AHRC-funded Poetry of the Lancashire Cotton Famine project\, will guide participants through the newly-established database of the poetry\, and provide context to this significant part of the region’s history. Cotton Famine poetry represents several hundred individual texts\, and it was written largely by ordinary Mancunians and Lancastrians\, and published in local newspapers. These poems reacted to the extreme poverty caused by the mass-closing of cotton mills in the region when the Union blockaded Confederacy cotton exports during the American Civil War (1861-65). The poetry\, in standard English and dialect\, is by turns moving\, angry\, and funny\, and ranges through themes such as slavery\, politics\, war\, homelessness\, poverty\, and charity. Come and find out what ordinary people thought about these global events\, and why there is a statue of Abraham Lincoln in the centre of Manchester!

SUMMARY:An Evening with Barbara Kingsolver
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT IS NOW FULLY BOOKED \n‘We’re living through a scary historical moment when the most basic agreements about who we are as citizens\, and how we’ll succeed in the world\, are suddenly unravelling.’ Acclaimed American author of 15 books\, Barbara Kingsolver’s new novel\, Unsheltered\, uses the lens of the past to view where this unravelling might lead us. In 1871\, Thatcher Greenwood attempts to teach Darwin’s theories to an unreceptive audience. In 2016\, Willa Knox is braced against an upended world that seems to hold no mercy for her shattered life. Barbara again explores the themes of inheritance\, ecology and social change\, so brilliantly displayed in her previous novels The Poisonwood Bible and The Lacuna. She will be in conversation with author and MLF Patron Erica Wagner. Presented in partnership with the Centre for New Writing. \nThis event will be BSL interpreted

SUMMARY:Sjón
DESCRIPTION:Is there a Nordic identity exemplified in the literature produced by writers from the eight lands? While co-editing the short story anthology\, The Dark Blue Winter Overcoat & Other Stories from the North\, Icelandic writer Sjón realised that the regions have deep common routes that are consistently – and collectively – nurtured and fed. Come and hear Sjón and his co-editor Ted Hodgkinson discuss the commonalities used by writers creating both naturalist and magical tales. The author of four previous novels including Moonstone and The Whispering Muse\, Sjón will also read and discuss his latest work translated into English. A three-part novel – a love story\, a crime story\, a science-fiction story – CoDex 1962 is arguably Sjón’s masterpiece.

SUMMARY:A Celebration of Ted Hughes
DESCRIPTION:Frequently ranked as one of the Twentieth Century’s greatest writers\, Yorkshire poet Ted Hughes produced a significant body of work\, including original poetry and translations. His early poems were rooted in nature\, detailing the beauty and violence of the landscape and its animals (The Hawk in the Rain)\, while later pieces often used or reworked mythology\, examining the dark subconscious (Crow). His final collection\, Birthday Letters\, looked at his relationship with his fellow poet Sylvia Plath. To mark the 20th anniversary of Hughes’s death\, we have invited a number of contemporary poets\, including Amanda Dalton (Stray\, How to Disappear)\, Zaffar Kunial (Us)\, Carola Luther (Walking the Animals)\, Andrew McMillan (Physical) and John McAuliffe (The Way In) to perform some of their favourite poems by the late laureate.
