What is recorded here
Michael Joseph Quin is a birthplace in Thurles, County Tipperary, Ireland. Perhaps the boy ran barefoot through wet grass before learning words could cut as deep as knives. Maybe he listened to rain on rooftops and heard rhythm waiting to be captured. Imagine him at seventeen, holding a pen like a weapon, ready to wound every false man he met.
