The first day of the John Hewitt Society International Summer School was a success! It was interesting to hear the blend of politics and creativity come together in an opening lecture by Lord Steele. In all actuality, my favorite part of the lecture was the open forum toward the end that provided some very voluptuous responses from the crowd.

I really enjoyed not only my fiction workshop, but the texts provided, the group of students and over all style. I can’t wait to continue my creative writing workshop through the rest of the festival. We’ll present our work tomorrow! Can’t wait!
