The Whiting Awards are a wonderful antidote to self-doubt. The recipients come here in the knowledge that it is other workers in their art who have commended them. No commendation quite substitutes for the commendation of the respected practitioner. That laying on of hands marks the soul for the better and marks the memory forever.
Seamus Heaney
Speaker, Whiting Writers’ Awards, 1998
