On our final night in Dublin, we gathered in an upstairs room at the beautiful Teacher’s Club for a final celebration of students’ creativity, travels, and hard work.  We couldn’t have been more impressed!

From students’ generous and unique introductions of one another to their beautiful and smart literary stylings, what we have known since the beginning became even more true: we have a talented, cool, and potent crew of women on our hands.

We’re sending them home with all of our best wishes.  May their comfort with creative writing and reading persist; may their ease with and kindness to one another support them; may their excellent teachers, Mrs. Hubbard and Dean Macrina, guide them; may their words be their comfort and their power.

Many thanks to documentary photographer and fellow Putney Leader, James Bernal, for stopping in to take these beautiful portraits at our reading!
