Mapping the Future: The Complete Works Poets.

Join us for an evening of electric poetry and vital verse celebrating the anthology, Mapping the Future: The Complete Works Poets. Founded by Booker Prize winner Bernardine Evaristo, Complete Works Poetry was a revolutionary initiative that transformed the UK poetry scene. Supporting 30 diverse poets over 12 years, the programme has produced a wealth of distinctive voices (from Raymond Antrobus to Warsan Shire) and over 40 poetry collections between them, including three Forward Prizes, two T.S. Eliot Prizes and two Ted Hughes Awards. Poets performing at this special Manchester celebration include Malika Booker, Inua Ellams, Sarah Howe, Ian Humphreys, Adam Lowe and poet and translator Eileen Pun.

Presented in partnership with Speaking Volumes and Manchester Poetry Library at Manchester Metropolitan University.
