📜🖋 What if rhyme doesn't just make poetry sound beautiful but shapes what poets are able to say?
In her latest research, Lecturer in English Dr Amanda Holton uses a database of nearly 1,000 English love lyrics to explore how the constraints of rhyme influenced centuries of poetry. From why pain became the most common rhyme-word to surprising parallels with today's AI language models, discover how form and meaning are more closely entwined than we might think.

🌳🛏️ What happens when resting becomes part of an artwork?
For Queen’s graduate art student Rafael Pérez Evans, the horizontal body is not passive. In 'Horizontals', his year-long exhibition at Wakehurst, Kew Gardens, fallen ash trees become sculptural resting places. His work asks visitors to stop, lie down, look up, and spend time with the trees, connecting human exhaustion with wider questions of burnout, disability, and ecological pressure.
Rafael says: “When you lie down, the forest stops being something you move through and becomes something you tune into.”
