Seamus Heaney and Jean Kennedy Smith at the Irish Times/Harvard University Colloquium in Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts: “Heaney’s presence at Harvard was, well, the word that comes to mind is salubrious. It is a word my father used to describe the sea; meaning something beneficial, beneficent. It wasn’t Heaney’s academic prowess; though the way he spoke about poetry, the very language he used, made everything shimmer as if struck by moonlight.” Photograph: Dara Mac Dónaill
