A series of crowd-sourced poems created with communities of Greater Manchester
Home
A Poem by Manchester is a project to create, document and archive a series of poems, co-produced with communities in Greater Manchester.
“Contributing to the poem was an enriching experience since it was a visible way of feeling part of something with a degree of permanence in a world which is in a constant state of flux. Manchester is not just a place but a mindset. The Yarn poem is a perfect example of that philosophy.”
