Galway Arts Centre is offering aspiring poets a choice of three poetry workshops, all facilitated by poet Kevin Higgins, this September.

Kevin is an experienced workshop facilitator and several of his students have gone on to achieve publication success. One of his workshop participants at Galway Arts Centre recently won the prestigious Hennessy Award for New Irish Poetry, while another had her first full collection of poems published by one of Ireland's major poetry publishers.

Each workshop will run for ten weeks, commencing the week 15 September. They will take place on Tuesday evenings from 7pm to 8.30pm (first class 16 September); Wednesday afternoons from 2pm to 3.30pm (first class 17 September); and on Thursday afternoons from 2pm to 3.30pm (first class 18 September).

The Tuesday evening and Wednesday afternoon workshops are open to both complete beginners as well as those who've been writing for some time. The Thursday afternoon workshop is an Advanced Poetry Workshop, suitable for those who've participated in poetry workshops before or had poems published in magazines.

The cost to participants is €110, with an €100 concession rate.

Places must be paid for in advance. To reserve a place contact Victoria at reception at Galway Arts Centre, 47 Dominick Street on 091-565886 or email This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
