Larne writer and teacher, Jen Herron, has been awarded a bursary by the Arts Council Northern Ireland to complete a nine-month mentorship at London’s prestigious Faber Academy. Jen hopes the experience will help her to complete her first poetry collection, “The Gathering”, which explores themes such as gender, identity, work, and societal expectations.
She previously picked up the Seamus Heaney Award for New Writing 2022 for her poem, ‘To an Unborn Daughter’.
