The Wednesday Group
The Wednesday Group is a poetry workshop group, started by our founding director Ciaran Carson. Since Ciaran's death in 2019, they have continued to meet, beginning the session with one of his poems, before sharing their own work.
The Group has recently begun meeting online in weekly Zoom calls, hosted and chaired by poet and PhD candidate Andrew Rahal, with some guest tutors dropping in during the course of the year. The group is keen to welcome new members to join in their weekly discussions. To find out more, contact shc@qub.ac.uk
