Poetry Alive - Enda Wyley

  • The Bere Island Heritage & Information centre (map)

Celebrate through poetry the world that we live in with poet Enda Wyley. Be inspired by the energetic and imaginative work of established poets and be guided in your own poetry writing. Feel part of an encouraging workshop group and be open to the creation of your own new poems. This workshop will be enjoyable, varied and interactive. You will take away with you an increased enthusiasm for poetry – the reading and writing of it, and a deeper understanding of the making of poetry. You will also feel encouraged and confident enough to keep writing and to continue to follow your own individual path as a poet.

A seventh collection is due in 2025. Awards include the Vincent Buckley Poetry Prize, Melbourne University and a Reading Association of Ireland Award. Her books for children from O’Brien Press are Boo and Bear, I Won’t Go to China! and The Silver Notebook.
