The School of English at Trinity College Dublin is delighted to announce that it will be hosting Niamh Campbell and Nathan O\u2019Donnell as the inaugural Beckett Creative Fellows this coming academic year, 2022-23.<\/p>\n

This scheme is a collaboration with the Samuel Beckett Research Centre at the University of Reading, which has pioneered a series of Creative Fellowships since 2017. Through the fellowships at Reading and Trinity the rich collection of archival materials mapping Beckett\u2019s creative process are made available to writers and artists, so that Beckett\u2019s archive becomes a practical and inspiring creative workshop. As Beckett Creative Fellows Niamh Campbell and Nathan O\u2019Donnell will produce original creative works that draw on traces and threads of Beckett\u2019s ideas discovered in the archive.<\/p>\n

Niamh Campbell won the Sunday Times<\/em> Audible Short Story Award in 2020, and the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature in 2021. She has published two novels, This Happy <\/em>(2020) and We Were Young<\/em> (2022), a monograph on the writer John McGahern (Sacred Weather<\/em>, 2019), and short pieces of fiction, non-fiction, academic criticism, and art writing for a number of journals in Ireland.<\/p>\n

Niamh Campbell\u2019s project takes as its point of departure notions of transcendent banality, eternal return, ideological and idiomatic limitation, habit and logjam, and compulsive or onanistic personal memory – ideas drawn from the Beckettian universe and important to her own work. The project is especially interested in looking at writerly ‘voice’ and expressive patterning as habitual or recursive phenomena by using recording devices, voice-to-text software, and vocal performances to develop and supplement the work.<\/p>\n

Nathan O\u2019Donnell is a writer and artist based in Dublin.\u00a0He has published fiction and non-fiction in numerous journals including The Dublin Review<\/em>, gorse<\/em>, The Tangerine<\/em>, and 3:AM<\/em>, amongst others; he is also one of the co-editors\u00a0of Paper Visual Art <\/em>and he writes and publishes regularly in the field of contemporary art. He had his first solo exhibition at the Illuminations Gallery, Maynooth University, in 2020; he was writer-in-residence at Maynooth University, 2020\u201321; and he has also been awarded artist\u2019s commissions \u2013 for publishing-based projects \u2013 from IMMA, Ormston House, Dublin City Council, the Arts Council, and South Dublin County Council.<\/p>\n

Nathan O\u2019Donnell will use this fellowship to develop a project titled \u2018under all weathers\u2019, responding to the Beckett archive through a meteorological lens \u2013 gathering weather data, meteorological references, and climate metaphors, from across Beckett\u2019s work as well as his letters and other archival sources. O\u2019Donnell is a writer with an interest in experimental publishing; his aim, with this project, is to produce a set of text scores which will be circulated within a pamphlet-style publication.<\/p>\n

The Beckett Creative Fellowships at Trinity are coordinated by the School of English in partnership with The Library of Trinity College Dublin, Trinity Long Room Hub, and Trinity Centre for Beckett Studies. This project is a collaboration with the Beckett Creative Fellowships organised by the Samuel Beckett Research Centre at the University of Reading:\u00a0https:\/\/research.reading.ac.uk\/beckett\/creative-fellowships\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n
