Manchester-based poet, writer and producer Antony Szmierek rose to prominence on the Manchester spoken word scene with his 2023 single The Hitchhikers Guide to the Fallacy. His debut book Roadmap, launched at Hay Festival 2025, is a hyper-visual experience, packed with exclusive material. It includes Szmiereks debut album lyrics and an exploded view on the tracks, alongside additional poems, sketches and stories, presented as a full-colour paperback.
