Mancunians: Where Do We Start, Where Do I Begin : Scott

Scott, who is fiercely Mancunian himself, has provided a fascinating history of the recent past providing locals with stories and perspectives they may not have heard and outsiders with insight into the city and its history. The book covers the period between 1980 and 2022. Spinoza himself describes the book as “an account from punk to the pandemic of how the 1982 opening of the Hacienda gave the kiss of life to a dying city”.

Many of the poems in Roberts’ seventh volume surround the idea of why and how we ascribe value to places, things and relationships.
