Elizabeth McManus, poet and author of “Later, Icarus”, will read from her work and share some of the stories behind her poetry.
 

Elizabeth is a poet and artist of Irish and Scottish descent, living in the North West of England and committed to full time creative practice. She is the author of “Later, Icarus” poetry collection, available from bookshops & on Amazon.

Her poetry and artworks convey that each person and their story has dignity, that every day is precious and that life is a vivid and significant experience. 

Elizabeth’s pieces express her love of people and their stories, nature, experimentation and contemplation. She especially enjoys drawing and also painting semi abstract landscapes.

The poetry reading will commence at 3pm and then will follow with her book signing.
 
Event is combined with an Open Studios afternoon which will be open from 2.30 until 4 pm, where you will be able to view the artwork on display by the studio artists, Peter Arkwright, John Bentley, Julia Entwistle, and Tina Hurst.
Wine and nibbles will be served on this afternoon plus tea/coffee.
