Join our social at the Poetry Library to hear from a guest speaker who will be sharing their experiences of freelancing.

Guest speaker: Martin Kratz

Martin Kratz is Programme Manager at Manchester Poetry Library. His reviews and translations from the German have appeared in various journals and in anthologies. He is the co-editor of Mount London: Ascents in the Vertical City (Penned in the Margins, 2014). A pamphlet, A Skeleton’s Progress (Poetry Salzburg) was published in 2018. He has new work in No Net Ensnares Me (Calder Valley Press, 2024), an anthology of prose poetry inspired by the Brontës and the wild.
