Between Worlds: Writing exploration of Identity, Belonging, and Departure with Emer Martin

Navigate the terrain of identity, displacement, cultural tension, family bonds, and the fierce demands of love in this creative writing workshop led by Emer Martin.

Through guided prompts and focused exercises, you will craft narratives and or poems alive with sensory detail, charged dialogue, and the quiet power of subtext. Whether you prefer to draw from lived experience or want to breathe new life into your current work, you’ll be invited to dig deep, explore beyond your own borders and follow your characters into uncharted territory.
