The Journals Fleadh returns for its third year to gather readers, writers, and editors for a vibrant weekend of conversation, community, and workshops in the seaside town of Rathmullan.
The weekend opens in Letterkenny with an invitation to ‘Meet the Players’, introducing emerging voices from Profiles and The Frustrated Writers’ Group, followed by a conversation with Eimear Ryan of Banshee Press and literary journal, Banshee.
We also hear from prominent literary voices such as essayist and journalist Roisin Kiberd and international award-winning author Jan Carson. Rounding it out are opportunities to put pen to paper in two workshops, led by writer and The Pig’s Back editor Dean Fee, and poet, editor, and poetry critic Mícheál McCann.
At the heart of the weekend is a celebration of Ireland’s thriving literary journal scene, which has supported and shaped the work of so many featured writers. Journals including Profiles, Tolka, The Stinging Fly, The Pig’s Back, Poetry Ireland Review, Frustrated Writers’ Group, Banshee, The Dublin Review and more will be represented, offering opportunities to meet the people behind the pages, connect, and maybe even take a bracing dip in the sea.
Presented by Earagail Arts Festival & Regional Cultural Centre. Curated by Megan Johnson.
