For a long time now we have been huddled in the darkness, our faces lit by the dim flicker of a screen-saver in operation. The thought of the outside world, while not intensely worrying, is sometimes viewed as a complication. But like most shut-ins, we desire to see the bright lights and sample the delights that are on the other side of our door.
Our foray has been planned, with maps and charts. We have co-ordinated with our friends over at Salt Publishing and Manchester Metropolitan University in order to present the first ever Transmission reading!
On 11th October 2007 at 6:30pm we will open the doors to The First Transmission & Salt Literary Oktoberfest and we have quite a line-up.
Representing Salt will be:
Elizabeth Baines, reading from her collection, Balancing on the Edge of the World
Steven Waling, reading from his poetry collection, Travelator
Neil Campbell, reading from his collection, Broken Doll
On the Transmission Team, reading from their excellent recent contributions, we have:
NP Murgatroyd
Emma Stockwell
Andrew Michael Hurley
On hand to bridge the gap between our organisations will be the incomparable David Gaffney reading from his collection Sawn-off Tales.
If this wasn’t enough, there’ll also be a chance to browse and buy selected Salt and Transmission products!
The reading will take place on 11th October 2007 at 6:30pm in MMU’s Geoffrey Manton Building on Oxford Road. It’s also completely free!
