Julia Gaudelli offers “A Guide to the Solar System for Needle Crafters”, which has a self-explanatory title. The book is split into parts, with a central section of photographs taken in and around the laboratories. Some of the poems in Laboratorio are Simon’s own, some written during workshops with scientists, some from two guest poets who are also scientists, and the book ends with “Observatoratorio”, a collaborative sequence which can also be heard online here.


Simon Barraclough spent a year visiting UCL’s Mullard Space Science Laboratories in Surrey in 2014.
