The Mater Dei Institute of Education is now offering a MA in Poetry Studies, available either part-time (2 years) or full-time (1 year). The course aims to provide ‘a necessary bridge to the study of poetry at doctoral level, but also to provide a sense of disciplinary confidence to those who write and read poetry for pleasure.’ For more information, contact Dr Michael Hinds (Programme Coordinator), Mater Dei Institute of Education, Clonliffe Rd, D3, on 01 808 6527, or e-mail michael.hinds@materdei.dcu.ie

The Lonely Voice is a reading series for short story writers, particularly emerging writers who may have had few opportunities to read in public. Each month’s submissions are considered by a guest adjudicator. The deadline for submissions for The Lonely Voice: Short Story Introductions in May is Friday, 30 April. The May reading will be the last before the summer break; the event will return in September.
