A public anthology featuring 34 poems written and read by workshop participants and published poets. Created as part of a collection of poetry sound pieces called 'In the Company of Insects'.
As part of In the Company of Insects, poet Fiona Benson ran workshops with 200 people from across the South West and in London.
Insect Love Songs features poems written and voiced by a selection of these workshop participants. Each focusing on, and responding to, a particular insect, they include poems by published writers including Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing at the University of Exeter, John Wedgewood-Clark and Rebecca Gethin, and up and coming stars such as Kareem Parkins-Brown, Rishi Dastidar, Morag Smith, Laura Warner, and the Grand Bard of Exeter Kimwei McCarthy.
Beautifully produced and sound-scaped by Eliza Lomas, these pieces are wonderful singing explorations of the wonders of the insect world.
Please note some of the poems contain strong language.
