Poetry Workshop with Róisín Leggett Bohan

What makes a poem linger with us long after it’s read? How can we capture those lightnings of meaning within our own work? Róisín Leggett Bohan is a prize-winning poet from Cork, and co-editor of HOWL New Irish Writing.

In this workshop, she’ll lead participants in unwrapping great poems, identifying what moves us, and learning to translate those insights in a guided writing session.

Róisín is the author of the collection in our mouth we carry, a runner-up in the 2024 Patrick Kavanagh Poetry Award; her work has appeared in Poetry Ireland Review, Banshee, Magma, Aesthetica and The Pomegranate London. She will use her experience to encourage growth and discovery among participants in a supportive workshop environment. 

This workshop welcomes all levels.

The Journals Fleadh is back! We’re inviting readers, writers and journals together for a weekend of conversation, workshops and craic in the beachside towns of Ramelton and Rathmullan.

We’ll hear from established literary voices, like novelist Louise Kennedy and poet Stephen Sexton. We’ll also introduce newer voices published in Tolka and Channel. This, and a chance to learn from memoirist Molly Hennigan and poet Róisín Leggett Bohan in our open-to-all workshops.

And all of these writers have one thing in common – their work has been nourished by our incredible array of Irish literary journals.

Many of Ireland’s finest journals will be in attendance: The Pig’s Back, Holy Show, The Stinging Fly, Banshee, Frustrated Writers’ Group, Tolka, Channel, Fallow, and more tbc. There’ll be a chance for conversation and connection with the people behind the publications at events – and maybe a few swims too!

Presented by Earagail Arts Festival & Regional Cultural Centre. Curated by Tom Roseingrave, with support from Brendan Mac Evilly, Emily Cooper & Dean Fee.
