Grevel Lindop and Peter Sansom

Join us for an exciting evening of poetry by two of our finest Northern writers, Peter Sansom and Grevel Lindop. Manchester’s own Grevel Lindop will be launching his brand new collection, Luna Park, which draws upon themes of magic, dreams and the nocturnal. Whilst the well-loved director of the Poetry Business, Peter Sansom, will be launching his recent Carcanet collection, Careful What You Wish For. The event is free and all are welcome.
