To get you excited for our charity fundraiser, Chapters by Candlelight, we'd love to introduce you to two poets joining us on the evening.

We still have some tickets left for you to join us for an evening of reading, community, and coming together to support a great cause - link in our bio 🎟️

Matt Alton is a House of Books and Friends regular, MA Social Research student and writer of many stripes. This year he was supported by the Lowry's Artist Development Programme to develop a short puppet show which explored the paternalism experienced by disabled people in Britain. He has published poetry in national magazines and anthologies including Gutter and Broken Sleep Books' Masculinity: an anthology of modern voices. His work can be found at http://mattalton.com.

Canadian poet Evan Jones [Ευριπίδης Ιωάννου] lives in Manchester. His first collection of poetry, Nothing Fell Today But Rain (2003), was a finalist for the Governor-General’s Literary Award for Poetry. Men of the Same Name (2025), his most recent collection, was long-listed for the Anglo-Hellenic League's Runciman Prize and was a finalist for the Derek Walcott Poetry Prize. His translation from the Modern Greek, The Barbarians Arrive Today: Poems and Prose of C.P. Cavafy (2020), was a TLS Book of the Year.
