'WHERE IS CANNON STREET?'
‘WHERE IS CANNON STREET?’ an Invisible Visible Event The Head turners are lost! Can you help them in their never ending search for Cannon Street? Will they ever head in the right direction? Inspired by the work of Boal, Artificial Lights Invisible Visible, a new piece of Invisible Theatre exploring the changes affecting the urban environment as a result of redevelopment in Manchester City Centre. Have places been erased from memory? Is Capitalism eating away at the urban environment? We would like to give the unexpecting public a chance to perform, without their knowledge. Do people have a social conscience? Do they speak to strangers? Do people have time to spare to help? Can we elicit an opinion on any subject? 6th July, 2pm - 2.30pm, Exchange Square, Manchester, FREECreated by Artificial Light, in conjunction with writer Richard Barrett.

How2: EARTH'S BODY: AN ECOPOETRY ANTHOLOGY
Coeditors Ann Fisher-Wirth and Laura-Gray Street solicit submissions for an international anthology of ecopoetry. We are looking for a wide and varied array of submissions. Our working definition of "ecopoetry" is flexible; it includes not only what might be called nature poetry, and not only poetry that focuses on environmental issues, but also experimental poetry--poetry that explores language in its relations with the other-than-human. We welcome work by emerging as well as established poets. We welcome serious poems, playful poems, poems in open or traditional forms. Depending on limitations of space, we will consider not only short poems but also poems of several pages. The anthology will include only living poets or poets who were alive as of July 2007, and will include only poems either written in English or already translated into English; for poems not written in English, both the original and the translation must be submitted, and if accepted, both will be published. We will consider work that has been previously published, but the poet (and/or translator) MUST control rights to the work.
