Listen back to the latest reading in our Creative Writing Event Series

On the 9th of May, UCC MA in Creative Writing students celebrated the launch of their website FocalArchive.com in the Dora Allman Room at UCC.

Last month, the MA Creative Writing Cohort were joined by award-winning poet, playwright, essayist, short story writer and political activist of British Syrian Heritage, lisa luxx, for a personalised masterclass. luxx's work has been described as "vigorously intellectual and politically febrile" (Poetry Review) and "tender, political, simultaneously exuberant and mournful, and loving populated with family of every definition" (Safia Elhillo). Their work primarily explores revolutionary poetics, queer theory and diasporic narratives, and this masterclass saw both critical and creative explorations on the theme of necessary literature: writing and politics during times of revolution and catastrophe.  

We’re delighted to announce that, on March 20^th, acclaimed, award-winning author Eimear McBride will come to UCC, with a public event to mark the arrival of her new novel, The City Changes Its Face.

The School of English & Digital Humanities is thrilled to welcome two new Lecturers in Creative Writing to the Creative Writing Programme team: Eimear Ryan and Rosa Rogers.

The School of English and Digital Humanities at UCC is thrilled to announce that acclaimed author Mike McCormack will read at an exclusive, open-to-the-public event at UCC on October 7th, 6.30pm.
