Led by poet, Grace Wilentz, this workshop will focus on writing poetry in response to Marlay Park. Through a short reading, workshop participants will explore the art of writing about our shared green spaces. We'll then use the group discussion as a springboard for responding in verse through a tailored creative exercise. While no prior experience is necessary, participants will be expected to participate actively in discussions and take part in writing exercises. In return, participants can expect to come away with a new draft poem, and fresh approaches for their creative practice. Grace Wilentz was born in New York City and grew up in Greenwich Village. A graduate of Harvard University, with postgraduate degrees from Oxford University and University College Dublin, she moved to Ireland in 2005 to study the Irish language and became an Irish citizen in 2015. Her first collection, The Limit of Light, was published by The Gallery Press in October 2020 and went on to be named a book of the year in The Irish Independent and The Irish Times. She has received support from The Arts Council including a Literature Bursary and a Next Generation Award. Her most recent collection, Harmony (Unfinished), was published by The Gallery Press in October 2024 and is nominated for the Munster Literature Centre’s Farmgate Award. She is the inaugural Writer in Residence at Notre Dame in Dublin.
