Celebrate the launch of the long-awaited fifth in the Verbal Remedies series of Creative Writing by Medical Students. How many amazing pieces of writing will we cram into this bumper edition? What terrible pun will we come up with for the title this time? Hear students read their work and talk about the process of creating it, chaired by Helen Lynch.
Every year, twelve medical students get the chance to spend six weeks in an intensive Creative Writing course as part of the Medical Humanities bloc in their studies. They spend the time discovering and developing their creative talents in poetry and prose, from childhood memories to creating characters, from exploring poetic form, narrative structure and dialogue to inhabiting and conveying the unfamiliar. In doing so they produce resonant and memorable work, build a strong, supportive group dynamic and undergo changes of perspective and imagination. Verbal Remedies is a way to be able to share with others the work they have created and to reflect on the ways that doing so may have benefitted everything from their mental health to their punctuation. Some of the student writers read their work, with offerings from Haiku to Sci-fi, and much more.
