Based on the submission of some of his poetry Professor Peter Arnds was selected from a large pool of applicants to spend two weeks in September 2012 as poet-in-residence in the Heinrich Böll Cottage in Dugort, Achill Island. The German Nobel Laureate lived here in the 1950s and many of his impressions of Ireland recorded in his 'Irish Diary' are based on his stay on Achill Island. The writer/artist in residence programme is funded and supported by the Mayo Co Council, the Arts Council of Ireland, and the Heinrich Böll Foundation, Germany. It is the purpose of this residency programme to give artists and writers a tranquil space in which their creativity can flourish and where they share their work with the local community by way of public readings and visits to schools and community organisations.
