The Academy celebrated Seamus Heaney’s birthday by sharing an audio recording of him reading “From the Frontier of Writing” and linking to a compete recording and transcript from his visit to the Academy in 1987.
In the words of poet and Academy Member Henri Cole, who listened to the recording, “After two words, his voice brings him back to life.”
