An intensive workshop with two of Ireland’s foremost writers. Places should be booked in advance with the Education Officer at Summerhall (email: education@summerhall.co.uk ). Open to all. Writing samples (for discussion during the workshop) should be sent to the Education Officer by 20th August. The goal of the masterclass is for participants to gain a better understanding of where they want to go with their writing, and how to get there. There will be a balance of group activities and individual attention, with the poets working with Jean Bleakney, and the prose-writers with Mike McCormack.
