Hunt down the 9 planets across our FaB venues to discover Sam Bartle’s 'The Planetary Ennead', a group of nine poems, penned in homage to our solar family of planets, including our own home planet of Earth and the dwarf planet, Pluto.

Scan the QR codes to hear Sam’s words.

Written by poet, Sam Bartle, the poems deal with each of the planets in turn, comprising Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and the affectionate inclusion of Pluto (despite it no longer being classified as a technical 'planet'). Anyone who shares a fascination with the stars, space, astronomy, and the wider Cosmos, will enjoy the author's poetic interpretations of our solar neighbourhood within this collection.
