“As a result of an
article in the WMSC blog, we wound up going to a brown bag lunch at
the Performing Arts Center on Longfellow Square in Portland for a
lecture and poetry reading on Seamus Heaney. The presenter, John
Ward, a former professor of literature at Kenyon College, was clearly
informed about the complex societal background in Ireland from which
Heaney's poetry came. This knowledge on his part made his reading
the more gripping; so did his flair as a reading artist. Very well
done!”
Thanks for the vote of support, RoseMary and Jim!
