Seamus Heaney

INTERNATIONAL CHAIR OF CREATIVE WRITING

Our plans also include the appointment of the Seamus Heaney International Visiting Chair of Creative Writing. Commencing in 2023/24, this will be an invitation to a writer of global renown to join the Centre’s team of world-class writers, poets and critics six months a year, for up to two years. The Visiting Chair will bring expertise, creativity and new perspectives to the Centre’s expanding degree programmes, events, outreach activities and collaborations. They will work with writers at all stages to inspire and educate, fully engaging with the literary life of Belfast and beyond.
