Biden's Ireland trip: Poetry, Heritage, and Political Identity.
President Biden, who is Irish Catholic, is traveling to Ireland to mark the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement and visit two counties where he has family roots. Biden frequently quotes Irish poets, particularly William Butler Yeats and Seamus Heaney, and has used their words to describe America divided, a changing world, and the aftermath of wildfires in California. During his trip, Biden will mark the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, a 1998 peace accord that brought an end to decades of religious and ethnic violence in Northern Ireland.
