POETRY: An opportunity to work with acclaimed poet Dave Lordan whose latest collection 'Invitation to a Sacrifice' has just been published by Salmon.
"INVITATION TO A SACRIFICE contains poems that range in place from West Cork to Sicily, in tone from heartbreak to rage, and in style from plaintive song to howling epic. All are written in language that is as invigorating as it is clear. Once again Lordan displays an exceptional combination of spiritual depth, political bite, and artistic range. As critic Philip Coleman has said of him 'Ignore and stay ignorant.' ".
WRITING FICTION: Join the Director of the Killaloe Hedge School of Writing David Rice.
HAIKU & GINKO: This workshop will be led by Maeve O'Sullivan, a leading Irish haiku poet and teacher. Ginko is Japanese for 'composition stroll', a walk in a pleasant setting during which haiku poets admire and receive inspiration from nature. The Dromineer ginko will be more a haiku voyage as it will include a trip by water to Garrykennedy, followed by a stroll in woodlands on the shores of Lough Derg.
WORKSHOP FEE: 15 Euro (including light lunch).
Places are limited for all workshops and prior booking is strongly advised.
