Episode 1- Dr Marianne Macrae

Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow Season 1 Episode 1

This week’s guest is Marianne Macrae. Marianne is a writer from Edinburgh who recently won the Scottish Book Trust New Writer Award for Poetry. She recently completed a PhD in Creative Writing researching talking animals in poetry, which was funded by the Scottish Graduate School for Arts & Humanities. Marianne worked with us at the College a few years ago, looking at the life and pioneering work of Joseph Lister. We chat about poetry, Lister’s love of fighting germs, and who we think the real Jack the Ripper was.
