2018 Seamus Heaney Award for Arts & Letters
On February 27th, NYU’s Glucksman Ireland House presented Paul Muldoon with the Seamus Heaney Award for Arts & Letters. The event took place at NYU's Kimmel Center for University Life. The award was presented by Marie Heaney, writer and the wife of late poet Seamus Heaney.
The Seamus Heaney Award for Arts & Letters is awarded in memory of the late Nobel Laureate who was an honored guest at the 2013 Glucksman Ireland House Gala and a great champion of its dynamic program of activities. Glucksman Ireland House is celebrating their 25th anniversary with programming focusing on Irish-Jewish themes. This theme pays tribute to Loretta Brennan Glucksman and the late Lewis L. Glucksman, who believed in the universality of the ethnic and immigrant experience and creating dialogue between immigrants of different backgrounds.
2017 Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry
Paul Muldoon has been awarded the 2017 Queen’s Gold Medal for Poetry. In her citation, Carol Ann Duffy, the UK Poet Laureate, described him as follows:
Paul Muldoon is widely acclaimed as the most original and influential poet of the past 50 years and is rightly celebrated alongside Seamus Heaney. His poetry displays a restless playful brilliance, forever searching for new ways to channel his ideas and new language to dress them in. He is ambitious, erudite, witty and musical. He can experiment with form and stand tradition on its head, craft a tender elegy or intimate love poem with equal skill. His work is of major significance internationally - poetry of clarity, invention, purpose and importance which has raised the bar of what's possible in poetry to new heights.
