Welcome to the web site of poet Gerry Cambridge.
You will find downloadable examples of poems from his published books, as well as a few examples of his uncollected prose, both literary and autobiographical, which has appeared in numerous periodicals. There are also samples of his natural history photography and an ongoing gallery of pictures featuring writers, poets, musicians and artists. Other examples of his more specialist natural history images can be seen here under "Photographers".
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.
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.
