Polar poetry
The Polar Museum's poetry project - we hope anyone who feels inspired will get involved.
We are delighted to be able to welcome Jo Shapcott as our Poet in Residence from January to March 2013 as part of the University of Cambridge Museums' Thresholds Project.
The Polar Library already plays host to poet Kaddy Benyon, who is working alongside our own staff on public outreach events. Here are the results of our recent polar poetry session, held as part of the Festival of Ideas 2012.
If you would like to know more, or would like to be on our mailing lists for poetry-themed events, please email museum@spri.cam.ac.uk.

Jo Shapcott has arrived! We're delighted to have Jo working with us. Given Jo's interest in Sir John Franklin, it was particularly fitting that her first day at the Institute coincided with a lecture given by Parks Canada marine archaeologist Ryan Harris on the search for Franklin's ships.
