Manchester Literature Festival: Rewrite

Discover new voices from Manchester and Denmark as talented young writers Elizabeth Gibson, Tallulah Howarth, Asta Birkler, Loc-An Thi Nguyen, Cody Sander and Johanne Bisgaard share new work exploring the impact of colonialism and language in our relationship to land and to each other through poetry and prose.

The writers are part of ReWrite – an international writing programme created in collaboration with Danish Literature Festivals Ordkraft (Aalborg) and LiteratureXchange (Aarhus), MLF and The Writing Squad.

You can read more about the ReWrite project and sample some of the participants work here.
