Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin

Birthplace

What is recorded here

Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin is a birthplace in County Cork, Ireland. Perhaps the girl who arrived there in 1942 first heard rain on a roof before she learned the shape of a sentence. Maybe she kept that sound inside her and gave it back to people in poems. Imagine a small house where a child learned that the world can be written without losing its music.
