We’re very proud to announce that Bridget Sprouls, a graduate of the inaugural MA in Creative Writing (2013/14), has just had a poem, “Scout”, published in the prestigious New Yorker magazine. Bridget studied under west Cork poet Leanne O’Sullivan, who leads the poetry component of our MA and has just been staffed on our programme.

The versatile Bridget completed her MA dissertation in fiction with an excerpt from a children’s novel, which she has since completed. You can read Bridget’s poem at: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/08/29/scout-by-bridget-sprouls
