The 2026 European Poetry Festival returned to Manchester to a sold out crowd at the Manchester Poetry Library. We presented an evening celebrating poetry, performance and the potentials of collaboration, pairing some of the most dynamic and innovative poets of the thriving North West UK poetry scene alongside writers visiting from Europe. Over a dozen poets presented new works made for the event, spanning languages, literatures and the European continent.
Featuring Anna Luňáková and Sarah Dawson / Nóra Blascsók and Sarah-Clare Conlon / Tom Jenks and SJ Fowler / Martin Kratz and Julia Rose Lewis / Carolyn Hashimoto and Ayse Kongur / Thor Magnus Tangeras and Agata Maslowska / Lydia Unsworth and James Davies
