Award-winning poet, Isabel Galleymore, will read from and discuss her brilliant new poetry collection, Baby Schema, with radio producer and creative writing facilitator, Mark Smalley.
Baby Schema is a 2024 Poetry Book Society Choice and opens up several worlds at once; from the impact of climate and nature degradation to species extinction, in part seen through the lens of 'cuteness' and what it reveals about our place in the disconcerting world of hyper-capitalism. The title refers to the anthropologist Konrad Lorenz's description of what makes babies of many species appealing – the big eyes, small chin etc. Some of the poems ask whether this is the kind of world to bring a child into.
'Attentive to the natural world through imagistic lyrics these abundant poems recall the work of Jen Hadfield and Alice Oswald, but Galleymore can also be distinctive.' Ben Wilkinson, The Guardian
