What was surprising was that he now has eight decades behind him, because Harmon has the appearance of perennial youth. Fittingly, Christopher Murray, a colleague from UCD, where Harmon taught poetry for decades, reminded the throng that we were also celebrating the talents of a man still very much in harness. 'Maurice’s own work as a poet is an extension of his work as a life-long lover of and commentator on poetry, especially Irish poetry from earliest times to the present.'...\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Irish Times\u003c\/i\u003e, June 2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to being a poet, \u003cb\u003eMaurice Harmon\u003c\/b\u003e is the leading scholar-critic of his generation in the field of Anglo-Irish Literature.
