Announcing the participants for XBorders: Transition!

We are delighted to announce the participants of XBorders: Transition, a programme that challenges writers to examine ways of seeing and thinking about borders, physical or inter-personal, their potential for art, and in particular, writing. XBorders: Transition focuses on the states of change and flux beyond borders, and will take place from November 2018 to March 2019 during which time the group will work closely with facilitator Maria McManus and editor Patsy Horton.
