Emory gets poet's papers
Emory University officials announced Monday that Irish poet Eamon Grennan has placed his paper's with the institution's Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library.
The collection includes drafts, notebooks, lectures, academic papers, electronic records and handwritten personal journals.
Emory has collections from other Irish literary giants, including W.B. Yeats, Seamus Heaney, Derek Mahon and Paul Muldoon.
"Being a fellow inhabitant of what I feel is an Irish village there in Emory pleases me very much, feels right to me in ways no other location could,” Grennan said in a news release. "I believe that this accumulation of Irish work there in Emory will be of great benefit to anyone thinking about and/or writing about Irish literature of the past 100 years or so."
