Michael Manning's work 'Graih: Prophetic-Utopian' to be launched at concert
A former Manx bard is set to release an anthology of poetry next month.
Created by the eighth bard, Michael Manning, it centres around his experiences working with a homelessness charity on the Island.
Titled 'Graih: Prophetic-Utopian', it will be launched at a concert on Saturday, 8 November at Broadway Baptist Church in Douglas.
Mr Manning says he wants to spread more awareness about the issue here on Island:

Overnight sailings cancelled due to adverse weather
Rapist who 'terrorised' his victim told his sentence was 'entirely justified'
Complaints process for health system changed
Discovery of oiled birds 'makes a mockery of our biosphere status'
Charges now in place for those sending parcels to the EU
