Check out this story from the Academy at Middle Fork about Adrian Rice, who in the fall 2018 semester accompanied the Chancellor's Scholars to Dublin and taught at least one session of the Honors first year seminar, Voyages, on Seamus Heaney:
Academy at Middle Fork Hosts Poet-in-Residence Adrian Rice During May
The story begins,
"The Appalachian State University Academy at Middle Fork hosted poet-in-residence Adrian Rice during the month of May, culminating with an event titled “The Poetry Cafe” on June 6. Rice visited each of the Academy’s classrooms twice, where he read his original works and helped students craft their own poems.
Rice is an award-winning poet originally from Belfast, Northern Ireland. He is also an adjunct professor and doctoral student at Appalachian State University."
