The Language Exchange is a place where poets and scientists meet to share language & ideas and create new work. This week Anthony Anaxagorou meets Maggie Aderin-Pocock.

For Anthony Anaxagorou, a good poem is one that orbits you. To help him write a new poem with gravitational pull he is going to sit down with space scientist, science communicator and presenter of the BBC’s The Sky at Night, Maggie Aderin-Pocock. Together they will look to the stars as Maggie tells Anthony about the technology that has helped us see what's out there.

Anthony Anaxagorou is a British-born Cypriot poet, fiction writer, essayist, publisher and poetry educator. His second collection After the Formalities published with Penned in the Margins is a Poetry Book Society Recommendation and was shortlisted for the 2019 T.S Eliot Prize.
