He is the author of twelve major collections of poetry, serves as Professor of Creative Writing at Princeton University, acts as the poetry editor of The New Yorker, and was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 2003. This incredible event was organised by Poetry Ireland: Writers in Schools and was held in the Lexicon Library, Dún Laoghaire, in March 2016. The purpose of the workshop was to nurture young poets who have demonstrated exceptional insight and flair in their own poetry, giving them expert guidance with the writing process.

Davitt College is incredibly proud of her tremendous achievement, and we wish her every success with her writing in the future. ✒️📖🌟 Fifth Year student Laura Ryan, who was selected as one of only ten students nationwide for an exclusive poetry masterclass with Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Paul Muldoon. ×
