Gerard Manley International Summer School
Poetry Workshops, Creative Writing Workshops
Last week in July each year since 1987
Workshops during the Summer School
Each year since 1987 - last week of July - in Monasterevin, Ireland; in 2004, from July 24 to July 30th at St. Paul's School, Monasterevin
Each year, since 1987, scholars, artists and enthusiasts have come to Monasterevin to celebrate Hopkins's creativity. Over the years, arising from the synergy of this enthusiasm, Workshops have developed and are now a central part of our Summer School.
Poetry Workshop
Share your creativity with a group of fellow-travellers in the Creative Writing Workshop. Each year, a Poet or established Writer shares insights with you; reads your Poems or Writing and offers constructive advice.
This is our oldest Workshop and it is still as popular as ever. Participants bring samples of their work and, in a positive and supportive atmosphere, suggestions are made and possibilities investigated.
This year, our Workshop will be conducted by Poet, Desmond Egan, whose 18th book has just been published to much acclaim. He will be helped out by Cecile Oumhani and other writers, poets and scholars from around the globe.
