Notes

The Hippocrates Book of the Brain is an international anthology of poetry, co-edited by Wendy French, Michael Hulse, and Donald Singer. I was approached by Em Prof Hulse to contribute to this work, which includes work by major poets such as CK Stead as well as companion pieces by leading medical professionals.

Research statement

This poem (an elegy to my father) is part of a wider elegiac project that brings together lyrical autobiographical expression with extra-poetic discourse (in this case the scientific discourse of neurology).
