MA Creative Writing: Innovation and Experiment
Lucy started her creative journey at Salford as an undergraduate on the BA (Hons) English and Creative Writing course, receiving a first-class honours degree, before continuing her studies on the Masters programme. Coming from a bi-lingual background in French and English, Lucy draws on this talent to interrogate aspects of poetic and translatory composition. Some of her most memorable work was in the form of an artist’s book in her own ingeniously invented language, which was proudly exhibited in the University’s Clifford Whitworth library. She is now confidently generating a new kind of trans-disciplinary, dual-linguistic and trans-cultural approach.
In addition, she works with Floresta Poetry magazine as an editor, is a French translator and poetry competition organiser, and has seen several of her poems and visual poems published in Untitled Voices, Floresta Magazine, and Streetcake who shortlisted her for the Streetcake’s 2020 experimental poetry award. Lucy has an impressive and deep commitment to her subject, and has continued to shine throughout her Masters whilst also consolidating her creative enquiry.
Lucy says “Being nominated this award has really cemented in my mind that I was all wrong about what it means to be a creative writer: everything I write won’t be pretty or make sense, and that’s okay! Being a creative involves experiments and my tutors have taught me the beauty of the unexpected. My writing is now informed from so many different areas of study and I even tested out visual poetry. I would like to thank Judy Kendall and Scott Thurston, not only for nominating me for this award but for having nurtured my creativity throughout my time at Salford. In the first part of my undergraduate degree, I struggled with engaging with the course and I considered leaving university. I felt like my writing could never be recognised; I felt like my creativity didn’t have a place.
My younger self would be questioning how on earth did I get nominated for a creative award while studying for a postgraduate course. But the truth is that my failures have helped me inform my creative practice. I think that had I never struggled to engage with the course, I wouldn’t have had the confidence to try out really bold approaches to writing: I had nothing to lose! I am very grateful for the opportunities I have been given at Salford, my ideas were always listened to and it is so nice to receive confirmation that the feedback was genuine, because writer’s doubt is all too real.”Add block
