The Bio-illogical is a new collection of contemporary poetry from the acclaimed author and academic Prof Alan Bleakley.
Alan shares his unique insight as a medical educator – and poet – to brilliantly tease out alternative readings of our natural world and our place within it.
His finely crafted poems explore the power of the imagination to distort nature for aesthetic purposes and is powerfully illuminated by the wild drama of his native Cornish landscape.

The human heart, a rib-caged oath,
Grows as a tangled bush of holly green,
Where a bursting fire can cinder
The holly head’s rush of growth.
Extract from: ‘The heart as a bird escaping a burning bush’
