The Land: A Creative Writing Workshop

WITH NIAMH MCNALLY

Belfast poet Niamh McNally will lead this workshop in nature poetry. Using work from Seamus Heaney, Mary Oliver and Paula Meehan as prompts, the workshop will explore the theme of land within your writing - both the physical: the soil, rocks, trees andthe seasons and metaphysical: our spiritual connections to landscape, ancestors and mythology – and how to use place as a starting point for your work.

Nimah McNally is an education workshop facilitator here at HomePlace and her work has been published in The Tulsa Review, The Galway Review and HOWL: New Irish Writing. She is currently Poet-in-Residence for Herstory, Ireland.
