![]() ![]() ![]() We publish this interview, here on the Seamus Heaney Centre website with Anna’s, and Sheila’s, kind permission. This was, first and foremost, for the benefit of our own Creative Writing students. Over a few days in May, Anna Burns was in email conversation with Sheila McWade – herself the current Bookfinders Chair of Creative Writing (awarded annually to a recently completed PhD student) – and the result is this extraordinary, and inspiring, insight into the work of one of these islands’ most original and celebrated writers. All three of our 2020 Fellows, though, Anna Burns, Vahni Capildeo, and Jed Mercurio, have responded to the changed circumstances with ingenuity and great generosity. Like every other aspect of all our lives, the programme this year has been greatly affected by the covid-19 pandemic. ![]() Image Credit: Eleni Stefanou Anna Burns in conversation with Sheila McWadeĮach year since 2018 the Seamus Heaney Centre has appointed three Seamus Heaney Centre Fellows who spend part of the second semester with us, meeting students one to one, conducting masterclasses and taking part in public events. ![]()
