Monday night was a wonderful relaxing evening of seeing the Pansies exhibition in situ -a moving exhibition of older lgbtqi stories & pansies planted where q***r bashing has occurred. I brought materials & a small selection of my own collages & we created our own collages & words … I was gifted the leftover PRIDE pamphlets & had a ball collaging it into something new PROUD PANSIES & gifting it to Jo working on box office. Linda read us poems from a PRIDE anthology she contributed to. 2 hours of therapeutic collage & poetry!
PROUD PANSIES & Poetry medicine.

Plus open mic. Contact: Sarah Pritchard [email protected]

Amy is a Mancunian poet, English teacher, and professional celebrant who believes poetry belongs to everyone. Her work is rooted in working-class experience and shaped by years on Manchester’s spoken word circuit. Her debut collection 'Bedtime for Overthinkers' features her poem 'My Kind of Heaven' - which has been printed as a Glastonbury Festival postcard.

Carson Wolfe is a Mancunian poet and Grand Prize Winner of The Disquiet Literary Program 2024. Their work has appeared with POETRY, The Rumpus, The Common, and Rattle, amongst others. In 2023, they won New Writing North’s Debut Poetry Prize, received awards from The Aurora[_ Poetry Prize, The Edward Thomas Fellowship, and were longlisted in The Poetry Society’s National Competition. Their book Coin Laundry at Midnight, is forthcoming with Button Poetry in spring 2026.



Book Description

2024 Button Poetry Chapbook Contest Runner-Up and Winner of The Northern Writers’ Debut Poetry Award, Carson Wolfe’s Coin Laundry at Midnight is an unfolding highway through gendered violence and q***r becoming.

Seasoned with fresh and intricate language, Wolfe’s work roams the open road in search of the self—uncovering identity in the aftermath of teen parenthood and urban poverty. A British voice wanderlust in America, this gripping chapbook challenges the male road trip narrative, going so far as to resurrect Jack Kerouac, who appears within these pages to minimise the dangers of s*x work and speculate about le****ns.

A painting of truck headlights and motel parking lots, Coin Laundry at Midnight questions what it means to move through a world that is continuously reinforced as unsafe for women and girls.
