soul survival guide
Hello! I'm Ali Davenport, writer, poet, and soul-searcher from Manchester, England. I love asking questions - and exploring possible answers!
I've written a book and some other pieces, including a pocketbook of poetry about the pandemic. My latest work is a poetry collection - days of grace. You can download all my work for free on this page - it's my gift to the world! See the sort of stuff I do in poetry events and other activities. You can read about me and my writing in my pieces for 2022's National Poetry Day and World Mental Health Day.
In January 2023, I joined with Dominic Berry to create
The Crying Cafe at the Altrincham Garrick Theatre. More gatherings to follow!
In June 2022, I gave a talk about connection at the first ever TEDx Warrington. Here's the video of my talk! Find out more here. (Photo credit: TEDx Warrington, Andrew Collier Photography)

Some of my poems appear in the Earth Pathways calendar and diary 2023.
