Welcome to the web site of poet Gerry Cambridge.
Read, or listen to audio files, of poems from his published books; you'll find here, too, examples of his prose, both literary and autobiographical, which have appeared in numerous periodicals. There are also samples of Cambridge's natural history photography and an ongoing gallery of pictures featuring writers, poets, musicians and artists. Some of his more specialist natural history images can be seen here under "Photographers".
Gerry Cambridge is the founder editor of The Dark Horse magazine, and has considerable interests in print design and typography. He occasionally plays harmonica as part of a duo with the Scottish singer-songwriter Neil Thomson. See the "harmonica" page for audio files of his musical collaborations.
He is a Royal Literary Fund Writing Fellow at the University of Edinburgh for 2006-2009, where he is based part-time in the Schools of Biological Sciences and of Physics.
In October 2006 Cambridge was the Scottish Poetry Library's first ever "virtual poet". His daily blog, a week in the life of a poet, can be seen here.
Funding assistance for readings or workshops in Scotland is available through the Live Literature Scotland scheme.
