What is recorded here
Proinsias Mac Cana is a birthplace in Belfast, County Antrim, Ireland. Perhaps the boy who arrived in 1926 heard language as music before he learned its rules. Maybe his mind turned ordinary words into living shapes that danced in his dreams. Imagine him standing at that address, young and uncertain, waiting for the voice that would carry him through two centuries of thought.
