Drawing from Manchester’s rich history of radicalism – from Peterloo to Chartism – join Jeremy Pak Nelson and Beth English for an interactive poetry workshop exploring Manchester’s traditions of working-class resistance through erasure poetry.

We will take inspiration from the Sun Inn Poets and make erasure poems using documents and artefacts from the past and present.

No prior experience needed. All welcome.
