Podcast host Rebekah King speaks with David Cain and researchers at the University of Cambridge about their participation in the Creative Encounters Words programme.
Listen now to researchers Dr Catherine Merrick (Senior Lecturer Pathology, Biological Sciences), Anne Thomas (Newnham College and Plant Sciences) and Mona Jebril (Research Fellow, Centre for Business Research) read their poems and talk about how poetry has enabled them to think differently about the research.
The Words programme set out to look at and share research through poetry. Together with the poetry and public engagement professional David Cain, the researchers explored the vast world of poetry, and its different formats to bring out the poetry that lay behind their research for performance and for publication.
You can discover more about the Words programme and read all the poems from 2022 at the Words website.
David's book Truth Street was shortlisted for the Forward Prizes for Poetry in 2019.
