Knocknarea Writers [Published date: 2003]. Soft cover, 111 pp. First Edition.[From back cover] What began as a small group of women writing out the meanings and imaginings of their own lives, has become an association of working poets and fiction writers who have claimed some of the most prestigious prizes and publications that Ireland has to offer. The miracle is, they are the same women, still writing out the meanings and imaginings of their own lives. As writers we write together within these understandings: that every human person possesses genius; that we can each one write as powerfully and as beautifully as we speak to our best friend or lover; that we are already artists with words, every one of us having crafted stories since we were infants. We believe that artists learn and thrive best in an atmosphere of encouragement. We strive for a non-hierarchical, nonjudgemental community of support. In that endeavor, we dare to risk, to experiment, and to grow as poets and writers of fiction, memoir, plays, essays, and songs. A method is only a pathway. The pilgrim who travels it with courage and persistence is the source of the power and the art. These pages are the evidence of the courage and craft of the Knocknarea Writers. Pat Schneider, poet and author: Writing Alone & With Others. Oxford University Press, 2003.
