A printed announcement of the Bennett Award for 1982, given to Heaney "in recognition of his distinguished achievement in the art of lyric poetry. He has gone to the roots of his language and his landscape, and recreated what seems, in its uncanny immediacy, the surge and grip of reality itself...." The award ceremony was held on November 16, 1982 in New York. On p 2 appears a capsule biograph, list of works published, and a portrait photo of Heaney. Pages 2-3 print the poem "Chekhov on Sakhalin" in facsimile manuscript.
