THE OTHER ROOM

Experimental poetry in Manchester

We’re not really here

Whilst this article in The Guardian has some good points, it is a cursory glance at the Manchester ‘scene’ from a restricted view seat. The utilisation of the same handful of well-worn reference points is to be expected but remains disappointing. Partial pictures such as this are fine if acknowledged as such, but when presented in a way which suggests completness give a distorted perspective. It’s like talking about Manchester when you’ve never left the Arndale Centre.
