Michael Harding & Michael D. Higgins

 
In Friday’s Irish Times (13 November), an essay was published by Michael Harding entitled: Life melts our fear of old age and recasts it as a sweet reward. The essay remembers John and his love of life.

An article by Michael D. Higgins, entitled: A Friendship and a blessing, followed in Saturday’s edition (14 November) of the same publication, in which the author reflects on his friendship with John and comments on John’s recently re-released book of poetry, Echoes of Memory.
