Welcome to the home of Liz Manning, writer, poet, and blogger.
Here you’ll find examples of my visual poetry, a link to my blog, news, and information about where to find my work.
I write about nature, mental health, my Christian faith, living in Cornwall, and everything in between. Having been an occupational therapist, the creative process matters to me as much as the final product. And, much as I love words, there are times when they are not enough. This is why I experiment with and specialise in visual poetry.
“Liz extends her poetry around the crowd like a warm embrace – using her background as an occupational therapist and her love for her family to invite you in. Her poetry holds such a kind and tender feeling, with a healthy dose of cynicism and a drop of I’m-not-angry-just-disappointed. It was an honour to hear her read at my event, but Liz’s written poetry is just the tip of the iceberg. From cushions to mannequins, the imagination, awe, and brilliance which can be found in her other work combining art and poetry cannot be overstated.” (Benjamin Brake, author of Ugly Hedgehog)
