Culture Matters is proud to announce the publication and launch of William Blake at the Bridge Hotel: Ten Newcastle Poets, edited by Paul Summers. The writers presented are diverse in style but unified by their progressive politics and class. Their visions of the city and its people straddle an epoch which has witnessed deindustrialisation and the dismantling of traditional working-class communities into a more nuanced, multicultural and complex reality. The anthology is sponsored by UNISON Newcastle city branch and Newcastle Trades Union Council.
