Poetry Manuscripts

Open House at Brotherton Cultural Collections

Join the Special Collections team for a curated exploration of items from Cultural Collections, showing how poets have engaged with the natural world across time. This session brings together rare books, letters, and manuscripts from the seventeenth century to the present day, and offers exceptional opportunity to encounter these materials firsthand.

Featuring works by Anne Finch, John Clare, and Simon Armitage, alongside contributions from unexpected and anonymous writers, the event highlights the many ways in which the natural environment has shaped poetic expression.
