Bantry Courses Literature What's On

Poetry for Beginners with Doireann Ní Ghríofa is a writing intensive designed to help you unflinch your curiosity and instill confidence in your work.

This exciting five-day poetry for beginners course will be led by poet Doireann Ní Ghríofa. This workshop is tailored to the needs of those who are beginning on their journeys as writers. The emphasis will be on surveying each writer’s inner landscape and facilitating them to write from their own interests and experience. Together, we will explore contemporary poems, analyse poetic techniques, and use interesting prompts to write new poetry. Each writer will leave this series of lessons with new poems and a renewed confidence in their work!

About Doireann

Doireann Ní Ghríofa is a bilingual writer working both in Irish and English. Her writing explores domesticity, desire, and the multiplicity of women’s lives. Among her awards are the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature, the Michael Hartnett Award and the Ireland Chair of Poetry bursary. She frequently participates in cross-disciplinary collaborations, fusing poetry with film, dance, music, and visual art; she is currently working on a major commission with Crash Ensemble under the Art Council of Ireland’s Making Great Art Work project. Doireann’s writing has appeared widely both in Ireland and internationally, and has been translated into many languages, most recently to French, Macedonian, Gujarati, and English. Her fourth book is Oighear (Coiscéim, 2017). She writes “with tenderness and unflinching curiosity” (Poetry Magazine, Chicago).
