This course is based in Ballycastle and works with Corrymeela, a peace and reconciliation organization. Students will explore Irish poets, old and new, from W.B. Yeats and Seamus Heaney to spoken-word poet and rapper Denise Chaila. Then they’ll interview writers about the purpose of their work and its place in the history of the region. Service experiences are an important part of the course, and the final project includes coordinating a community reading.
