This Judith E Wilson Fellowship, held within the Faculty of English, is designed to enable practising poets to spend a period as members of the Faculty of English, bringing together the practices of poetry and drama and their academic study. The cost of Fellowships are met from the Judith E Wilson Fund, formed from a donation to the Faculty of English by Judith E Wilson, a life-long friend of Dame Edith Evans.

The Fellowship is available for up to nine months from 15 September 2012. The Fellow is expected to reside in Cambridge and will, it is hoped, be affiliated with a college. They will also be invited to take some part in the work of the Faculty, by arranging workshops or readings (including, in term, three hours of formal contact time for students per week), and to pursue his/her own projects. The Judith E Wilson Committee will discuss a possible programme of work with the successful candidate.
