UCC’s creative writing MA is taking this year’s West Cork Literary Festival by storm with faculty and students, past and present, featuring prominently in the programme. 

Today (Monday, July 15) ) the MA literary showcase, a regular event at the festival,  highlighted the work of four current MA students, Marie Haugh, Molly Twomey, Niamh Twomey, and Beau Williams, who took time off from their theses to read and talk about their experience of the MA in a session chaired by director of creative writing, Eibhear Walshe.

Meanwhile, Eibhear will read from his recently published novel, The Trumpet Shall Sound (Somerville Press) at Bantry Bookshop at 11.30 am tomorrow (Tuesday, July 16)  while MA alumn Tadhg Coakley (2015/16) will read with Mary White at Bantry Library on Wednesday, July 17, at 1pm.
