To The Mountain Commissions - Seamus O'Rourke - Up The Mountain I Go

www.ironmountainfestival.ie
'To The Mountain' is a series of commissions of Leitrim artists by The Iron Mountain Literature Festival and Leitrim County Council made possible through the support of The Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport & Media under the Local Live Performance Programming Scheme 2021. The scheme was established to support the work of artists and bring live performance back to audiences around the country. As well as being presented live at an event in Carrick on Shannon, each commission was filmed in a site specific location appropriate to each commission.

This prayer is universal. We walk our local roads and trails just like this poet. We are one with the vast universe in our lovely woods and hills. From Massachusetts USA. Another old well trodden place.

Just found this one today - before I head out on my walk. Lovely stuff.

"Swelled up like a harvest frog" made me laugh out loud.

What a soothing voice to listen to! A great find.
I wonder if he'd prefer his name to be spelt Séamus Ó Ruairc?
