with special guest Lucy Power
Lucy Power is a poet, writer, artist and musician who spent her childhood in Todmorden before moving to Manchester. Her poems involve a mixture of writing styles: using contemporary urban characters and situations, she seeks to make the hidden visible, elevate the everyday, and highlight the overlooked. Her work has recently appeared in The People’s Republic of Mancunia (Flapjack Press, 2020) and will also feature in the anthology Indivisible (Commonword, 2021).
