Irish poet, translator, and writer Desmond O’Grady was born in Limerick in 1935. He earned his MA and PhD in Celtic Languages and Literatures and Comparative Studies from Harvard University, and would later teach at the American University in Cairo and the University of Alexandria in Egypt, as well as in Rome in the 1960s and 70s. Seamus Heaney once called him “exemplary in the way he has committed himself over the decades to the vocation of poetry”
Dimitri Hadzi (1921–2006) was an American sculptor known for his abstract modernist style and monumental public works. Born in New York to Greek-American parents, he spent 25 years living and working in Rome before settling in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he taught at Harvard University.
