Writing & Literature

Blaithin Ryan

2022

Three years ago, I would never have referred to myself as �a writer�, but now I consider it a central piece of my identity. My passion for writing has grown so much thanks to the inspiring people I have met over the last three years, both staff and students. This course has given me the skillset to develop my practice in a productive and confident way, and I am now steadily working on my first novel. I am very proud to be part of such a talented group of graduates.

Navigations of Healing

I grew up in Roscommon along the shores of Lough Ree. My locality encouraged a closeness with nature that hugely inspires my writing, as well as a fascination with Irish myth.
