This is the 50th anniversary of the death of poet Patrick Kavanagh.
On RTE's Nationwide on Tuesday Oliver Callan looked back on the life and work of the poet.
Kavanagh died in Dublin on November 30, 1967.
Below is an excerpt from one of his poems.
I met God the Father in the street
And the adjectives by which I would describe him are these:
Amusing
Experimental,
Irresponsible -
About frivolous things
He was not a man who would be appointed to a Board
Nor impress a bishop
Or gathering of art-lovers.
