Coritani's first ever visit to Poetry Live in Manchester was a great day, with poets including Carol Ann Duffy, Owen Sheers, Imtiaz Dharker and the poet Laureate Simon Armitage all speaking about their work and their inspiration.

Students gained a greater understanding into the writers' intentions of their poems, which is invaluable for their understanding in Literature and the world of music, art and writing in addition to showing alternative career paths.
