Hike winding paths over starkly green hills, explore grand Anglo-Irish estates, or stroll the cobbled alleyways and 19th-century oceanfront promenades of nearby fishing villages. Throughout the program, receive one-on-one feedback from your fellow writers and leaders, meet with working writers and publishers, and discuss issues of craft.ДЇor a change of pace, travel with your workshop group on day trips to the surrounding areas of Dublin. Evening activities include readings, enrichment seminars, concerts, movies and student-organized events. Take in IrelandвЂ™s amazing lyric and storytelling traditions at literary readings, traditional music concerts, parks, award-winning theatres, and storied public houses. Get constructive feedback while sitting on the expansive emerald lawns of Saint StephenвЂ™s Green or University College of Dublin. Read Yeats in DublinвЂ™s Municipal Gallery, and then set off to record your own intuitions and observations. Incorporate the five senses in a busy, covered marketplace, then reunite with your group in an outdoor cafГ© to read and comment. Explore with your workshop group and leaders, drawing inspiration from the city and culture for your own original poetry, fiction, nonfiction, writing for stage and screen, and various hybrid forms as you participate in field-based writing exercises. Begin in the historic and vibrant city of Dublin.
