Alice Oswald: A Manifesto for the Oral Tradition
14:00 Sat 26 Sep 2026 University of Salford, Media City Campus

Rhapsody is the first work of non-fiction by one of Britain's greatest living poets Alice Oswald, in which she invites us to recognise poetry not as a solitary, written art but as a communal, essential human inheritance. Join her for this very special event as she zigzags through ballads, riddles, interviews, artificial intelligence and sonnets to build a resounding manifesto for the oral tradition.
