To celebrate the 2012 Manchester Marathon, 26 poets –representing 26 miles of a marathon – will read poems from their own repertoire as well as other specially selected poems, all on the theme of Freedom from Torture.
The event is expected to last around 3 hours, representing the time a (good!) runner would complete a marathon. There will be two 'Water Station' intervals on the way with musical entertainment.
There will be a suggested donation of £5 on the door but we encourage everyone to come along.
Confirmed poets so far include Ben Mellor (pictured), Segun Lee-French, Martin de Mello, Cathy Bolton, Col Bashir, Shamshad Khan, Elmi Ali, Keisha Thompson and many others. Find out more about them at poetrymarathonpoets.blogspot.co.uk
Price: £5.00. (£5 (suggested donation))
Time: 6:30pm
