Summary: Good poetry gets beneath the skin of readers. This episode features a poet who, for a short period, literally got 'under the skin'. In the autumn of 2008, poet and essayist Marianne Boruch was awarded a 'Faculty Fellowship in a Second Discipline', permitting her to study something new for a semester. Her choice? Anatomy classes. 'Speak Cadaver', a long poem, was her response to her time dissecting bodies, and in the SPL's latest podcast, she talks about her experiences in an interview conducted in Edinburgh University's Medical School's historical lecture theatre.
