There's a lunchtime poetry event this Thursday, 14 July, 1-2pm, at Manchester City Library as part of Not Part Of - Manchester International Festival’s fringe, with readings from Stephen Parr  and  Steven Waling, two poets linked by Buddhist beliefs. Parr has published many pamphlets of poetry, and had poems included in the Bloodaxe anthology The Long Pale Corridor (1996). In 1999, he published his first full-length collection North of the Future (Windhorse Publications). In 2005, he won first prize in the Scintilla annual poetry competition. Steven Waling has published several books, including Calling Myself on the Phone (Smith/Doorstop, 2003),Travelator (Salt, 2007), and Captured Yes (Knives, Forks & Spoons, 2011). He describes his poetry as looking at the world through several viewpoints at once, and is also a regular contributor to Write Out Loud’s discussion threads.

Both events are free, open to all, with no need to book. They will be held in the Becker room,
first floor, Elliot House, 151 Deansgate, Manchester. Map
