Antoine Ó Raifteiri

Antoine Ó Raifteiri is a birthplace in Killedan, County Mayo, Ireland. Perhaps the boy who became Ireland's greatest living poet first learned rhythm from rain on thatched roofs and his mother's breath. Maybe he walked barefoot through killedan fields until the landscape entered his bones and spoke back in verse. Imagine a child hearing music in ordinary things before he knew the word for music.
