Writing and the City

SHC Banner Writing and The City

One of the core themes to our programme at the Seamus Heaney Centre is Writing and the City, where we consider the place of creative writing in our cities, and how writers both document the past, and create visions of future cities.

To celebrate this, we’re partnering with Belfast City Council to showcase new writing by Heaney Centre students in Belfast city centre. We’re looking for poems and short, micro-fictions to display as part of this series.  

This project is generously supported by the Queen's Annual Fund.

Workshops and Guest Tutors

The Tuesday Workshop

Our drop-in Tuesday Prose Workshops will be open to students looking to sharpen their micro-fiction skills in the lead up to the project’s launch in spring/summer 2022. Find out more...
