Carcanet at 50: Poetry Publishers, Archives and the Digital Revolution
Thursday 17 January 2019
John Rylands Library, Manchester
#Carcanet50 #PoetrySurvival

How do small poetry publishers survive in a global marketplace
dominated by large, multinational publishing firms? What can be done
to actively preserve their archives and make them available? And how
can scholars produce new knowledge, using these paper and born-digital
archives? What does it mean to publish poetry at the time when “users”
read poems on their tablets or phones, listen to podcasts and watch
videos of poetry performances?

Join us for a memorable workshop in Manchester on 17 January 2019!

Workshop Highlights:

_Internationally-recognised participants – including Michael Schmidt
OBE FRSL, founder of Carcanet Press
_Roundtable with well-known writers
_Networking opportunities in the sumptuous John Rylands Library
