Readings: Poetry Marathon

Freedom From Torture presents 26 poets on the occasion of the Manchester Marathon. Readings of new and old work on the theme of freedom will take place over 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. 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.
