Poetry Library Drop In with Supriya Kaur Dhaliwal

Come have a chat with us. Bring your questions, your creative knots, your in-progress thoughts.
About this Event

Got a project brewing, a poem in limbo, or just need to talk it through? Maybe you’re navigating the winding path of creative freelancing, or wondering what to read next and wish someone could point the way. We’re here for that. Starting Tuesday 7 October, and every fortnight after, you can book a one-to-one session with a member of the Manchester Poetry Library team. These sessions run on Tuesday evenings, between 5:00pm and 7:00pm.

Come have a chat with us. Bring your questions, your creative knots, your in-progress thoughts. We won’t be reading manuscripts or offering formal feedback in advance, and we can’t guarantee future opportunities – but we can listen, share what we know and help you find the right next step.

Led by Supriya Kaur Dhaliwal, a writer and literary translator currently based in Manchester, where she is working towards a practice-based PhD at Manchester Met’s Centre for Place Writing. Her doctoral research explores reservoirs as engineered ecologies shaped by memories of displacement, control, and transformation. Her poems have been translated into Arabic, German, Italian; and have appeared in Ambit, Bad Lilies, bath magg, Cyphers, Oxford Poetry, Poetry Ireland Review, Poetry London, Prototype, Rattle, The Irish Times, and elsewhere.
