The Poetry Summer School
The Poetry Summer School 2020
The Seamus Heaney Poetry Summer School is an annual intensive week of creative development for emerging poets, with seminars, workshops and one-to-one tutorials, alongside a programme of readings and other evening events. Time is scheduled for writing and the development of new work, as well as to explore and engage with the rich literary networks in the city.
The Poetry Summer School is led by Professor Nick Laird.
The Summer School ran online in 2020 for the first time. Find out more about it here.
