Welcome to Consilience
the online journal exploring the spaces where the sciences and the arts meet.
Each issue of Consilience features poems and artwork about science all linked by a common theme, submitted by creatives of all backgrounds. At Consilience, we use a peer-review system to help make our work accessible to all audiences.
Issue 18 - ‘Consciousness’
Field Notes
As well as reviewing, editing, and facilitating the artwork and poetry of others, the team of volunteers behind Consilience (80 and counting) are also extremely talented poets and artists in their own rights. Every year we aim to produce an edited collection of our own work, which has also been produced using our peer-reviewed approach to creativity.

Interested in the ideas behind Consilience? In this video, Sam Illingworth, the founder of the journal, talks about how Consilience aims to explore the world around us through the interconnections between the arts and the sciences.
We also want to keep Consilience free for all author submissions, in order to address the barriers that payments can present to some audiences in submitting work. We believe poetry and art should be accessible to everyone who wants to engage with it.
