Now that the 2010 Winter School has ended,our thoughts are already turning to next year's programme.

We hope to welcome once more a leading Yeatsian scholar and an important Poet to Direct the Winter School, and to provide the privileged audience with a special Poetry Reading.

 

The Yeats Winter School is designed as an interlude, which allows the visitor the opportunity to learn more about W. B. Yeats against the backdrop of the places - from Benbulben to Lissadell - which inspired his poetry. The aim of the weekend is to provide a basis for reading, exploring and thinking about Yeats's work in the place where much of it began.

Depart with fond memories of Sligo, Yeats and the Yeats Winter School.
