Cathy Bryant's new collection of poetry — Contains Strong Language and Scenes of a Sexual Nature — showcases her incredible talent and wit. Irritatingly hard to classify, her work hints at what it means to be female and intelligent in the 21st century. Think Carol Ann Duffy meets Spike Milligan.
At 6.30pm on 21st October, in Manchester's City Library (the stand-in for the currently closed Central Library), she'll be reading poems from her new collection. Additionally, she'll be supported by fellow Manchester poets Angela Smith, Chris Dommett, and Simon Rennie.
Humorous, ingenious, charming, and punchy — in equal measure — there’s never a dull moment in Cathy’s world. One moment she’s describing the disability of speaking with a middle class accent, while the next she’s berating New Age Man and his decidedly fake lifestyle. In-between you’ll find luscious fantasy, rude limericks, profound love, as well as sex, politics, and veganism.
Cathy is the winner of several literary awards and her work has been published in magazines and books worldwide. In 2010 she co-edited the major new anthology, Best of Manchester Poets. Born in Hampshire and raised in the midlands and Lancashire, she has lived in Manchester all her adult life.
