Poet and lecturer Helen Mort<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nPBS\u2019s 100 Women Poets list celebrated the diversity of poetry across the globe, highlighting the power of the female voice.<\/p>\n
The double ranking serves is a reflection of the literary strength in Manchester, recently designated a UNESCO City of Literature.<\/p>\n
Dr Mort, a lecturer in creative writing, said: \u201cThe PBS is one of our foremost contemporary poetry organisations. For two of the University\u2019s poets to be recognised is very special, an affirmation of the depth of quality across the Manchester Writing School.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe university is home to both established and emerging writers working together, producing new poetry that interrogates the world we live in. This creative excellence filters directly into the teaching, and positions Manchester Metropolitan as a leading creative writing centre on the international stage.\u201d<\/p>\n
As well as her work as an award-winning poet, Dr Mort specialises in an emerging strand of creative writing known as \u2018place writing\u2019, for which Manchester Metropolitan is a leading hub.<\/p>\n
She has published two collections of poetry, has been shortlisted for prestigious literary prizes including the Costa Prize and TS Eliot Prize, and was a judge for last year\u2019s International Man BookeProf Carol Ann Duffy DBE has been the figurehead for British poetry since her appointment as UK Poet Laureate in 2009.<\/p>\n
She created the Manchester Writing Competition and Manchester Children\u2019s Book Festival at the university,and hosts a series of evenings at Manchester\u2019s Royal Exchange Theatre, \u2018Carol Ann Duffy and Friends\u2019.<\/p>\n
James Draper, manager of the Writing School, said: \u201cIt is no exaggeration to say that Manchester has become an envied hub of creative writing with some of the most innovative, daring and expressive writing emanating from here.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the forefront of this is the Manchester Writing School \u2013 our lecturers are revered as some of the leading talent in the world, while students and graduates swell the ranks with new publications as their writing careers take flight.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Manchester Writing School is the country\u2019s largest post-graduate English and creative writing centre.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
