Poetry, prose, drama, criticism, show-and-tell, original work, or something revisited. Participants have up to seven minutes to respond to the theme of the evening. Tonight is SNAP.
Each night features an expert or enthusiast from outside the literary sector. These evenings are an opportunity to showcase the wonderful writing that goes on the Centre, and provide our students with a space to experiment with new work and reach new audiences.
To take part in the line up, please contact r.brown@qub.ac.uk with an outline of what you plan to read/perform. We aim to get a good balance of poetry, prose and 'other' in the running order, and current students based at the Seamus Heaney Centre will be prioritized.
