By Irish America Staff The awarding-winning writer Alice McDermott and Pittsburgh business leader Jim Rooney were honored at the annual Glucksman Ireland House NYU Gala on February 28. Some 300 gathered to toast the honorees at a cocktail reception followed by a seated dinner with presentations of the Seamus Heaney Award for Arts and Letters to McDermott and the Lewis L. Glucksman Award for Leadership to Rooney. Marie Heaney, widow of the poet, lauded McDermott’s writing. In turn, McDermott talked about Heaney’s gift for language, and offered a line of his that she often quotes: “We must teach ourselves to walk on air against our better judgment.”
