Mancunian Ways

With poetry by Lemn Sissay and Jackie Hagan.

A fusion of poetry, art and photography, the Mancunian Ways anthology embodies the spirit of Manchester. It takes us on a journey through a changing city: from rousing celebrations of resilience (in the light of the Manchester Arena bombing), to showcases of talent throughout history (Manchester's inventors, artists, scientists and dreamers).

"Mancunian Ways is a convivial collection of Manchester voices - some familiar and some new. It journeys through eras, landscapes,

subcultures and the weather An affirmation for any true Manc and a welcome mat for those who are yet to join us."

- Keisha Thompson, Writer, Performer and Producer
