I Seek A Wild Star: Poems of Longing and Belonging

Thu 22 May 2025, 7pm

Venue: Manchester Jewish Museum

Address: 190 Cheetham Hill Road, Cheetham Hill, Manchester M8 8LW

Join the Manchester Jewish Museum for an intimate evening of poetry, as poet-in-residence Ophira Adar presents a specially commissioned piece inspired by the untold stories of Jewish Manchester.

Drawing on the museum’s archive, Ophira’s poetry explores themes of spirituality, migration, identity, longing and belonging. As part of her residency she will also offer personal reflections on her creative process.

This event takes its title from the poetry of Jewish Manchester writer Louis Golding, whose impact on the city’s cultural history is often overlooked.

The event will include a Q&A with Ophira.
