Explore the inaugural launch of "Out of Sri Lanka: The Poetry of Witness (In-Person)" hosted by the Centre for Migration and Postcolonial Studies at Manchester Metropolitan University. This event showcases the first-ever anthology of Sri Lankan and diasporic poetry, shedding light on a long-overlooked national literary tradition. The anthology, featuring over a hundred poets writing in English or translated from Tamil and Sinhala, challenges the idyllic tourist image of Sri Lanka by delving into the country's complex history of conflict, war crimes, and social crisis.

Join the three esteemed editors, Vidyan Ravinthiran, Seni Seneviratne, and Shash Trevett, all accomplished poets and contributors to the anthology, as they discuss the intricacies of creating a collection that captures the essence of a divided nation and the politics of remembrance. This enlightening event, taking place on May 1st at the Manchester Poetry Library, offers a unique opportunity to engage with the powerful voices shaping migrational poetics and the poetics of atrocity. Reserve your spot to attend in person at the venue or virtually and immerse yourself in an evening of profound literary exploration. Copies of the anthology will be available for purchase on the day, accompanied by a delightful drinks reception.

As a supporter, visiting Etihad Stadium was a fantastic experience. The stadium itself is immaculate and well-maintained, providing a great environment for watching the match. The food options were plentiful, offering a variety of choices that added to the overall enjoyment. It would have been perfect if we could eat and drink while watching the game, but even so, the experience was memorable and enjoyable. Highly recommend for any football fan!

Went to Happy seasons restaurant and TSUJIRI in Manchester Chinatown with my mates after exams. Authentic Chinese cuisine with reasonable prices. The matcha sundae was also delicious. There are also many nice Asian restaurants around the area.

Visited the cathedral with my partner for an ibiza classical evening. We both thoroughly enjoyed it! The lighting and sound system were amazing.The only faults I had with the place was that the toilets had no lighting around them ,but there were plenty of them though, so I wasn&#39;t queuing for long.
