In May, Galway Arts Centre presents a daytime class for all
those beginner and continuing creative writing students out there, facilitated
by Susan Millar DuMars. Susan Millar DuMars writes both poetry and fiction. A
collection of her stories, Lights In The Distance, was published
in December 2010 by Doire Press; she has published three collections of poetry,
Big Pink Umbrella (2008), Dreams For Breakfast and, most
recently, The God Thing (March 2013), all with Salmon Poetry. She is also
co-organiser of the Over The Edge reading series which specifically promotes
new writers.
The class is suitable for both beginning and continuing creative writing students, working in either poetry or fiction. Students will spend their week responding to writing exercises designed to inspire, rather than inhibit. In class, they will receive gentle feedback on their work from their classmates and from the teacher. The class takes place on Monday afternoons, 2-3.30pm, commencing on Monday, May 13th and runs for eight weeks.
The cost to participants is 90 Euro with a concession price. Booking is essential as places are limited. For booking please contact Galway Arts Centre, 47 Dominick Street, phone 091 565886 or email info@galwayartscentre.ie
