Naked Eye changes hands, moves house

After 11 years running Naked Eye and championing literature and poetry in translation, as well as plays, and English-language original works, Mike Kilyon is handing over the reins to Lydia Unsworth. As such, Naked Eye has been uprooted from Settle in the Yorkshire Dales to be planted back in the ground in Leigh, Greater Manchester. We hope it’s happy here, among the flashes and the spinners and the leopards and the pits, between the guided busway and the illuminated needle of Winter Hill and the distant cooling towers bulging out of the commuter mist.

Special thanks to Mike for trusting Naked Eye to move here. May the eye stay open and curious and occasionally give a little wink.

Lydia is a poet and editor, with over five years experience working as managing editor for an international literature-in-translation publishing house. She is currently studying toward a PhD at the Centre for Place Writing, Manchester Metropolitan University.
