Insect Love Songs Project

As part of In the Company of Insects, poet Fiona Benson ran workshops with 200 people from across the South West and in London including MPK. Some of the resulting poems were given a soundscape by Eliza Lomas. More about the project and all the poems can all be seen here – or you can watch the ones that include us below.

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.
