By coming back time and again to a very small number of places in and close to Enniscorthy (the railway line, the Prom, the Old Bridge, the Slaney, an Irish home interior \u2026) O\u2019Reilly produces beautiful tableaux \u2014 beautiful because of their unadorned presence \u2014 that open on the elements in their essential mobility. Amidst this enduring life, the poet, immobile, reads his poems formally; or seated in the corner of a family home, his image always reflected in a mirror, he tells of his departures and journeys. The combination of this universal symbolism and natural presences confers to both Paul 0\u2019Reilly\u2019s sensitive film as well as to the poetic \u0153uvre of Eamonn Wall, which it pays an hommage to, their quiet, assured, transnational and transtemporal reach.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>PASCALE GUIBERT,\u00a0SENIOR LECTURER IN ANGLOPHONE POETRY,<br \/>\nUNIVERSIT\u00c9 DE CAEN BASSE-NORMANDIE<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><em><br \/>\nDirected, filmed and edited by Paul O\u2019Reilly<br \/>\nProduced by Lowland Films<br \/>\nMusic by Black 47, Gear\u00f3id \u00d3 hAllmhur\u00e1in and Niall Wall<br \/>\nDuration: 58 mins 29 secs; Released: 2014<br \/>\nSupported by Scallta Media and Enniscorthy Town Council Community Grant Scheme<br \/>\n<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Online interviews with\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.umsl.edu\/news\/2014\/11\/13\/sliff-wall\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UMSL Daily<\/a>\u00a0<em><strong>(USA)<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nTV interview with Paul O&#8217;Reilly on\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/kplr11.com\/2014\/11\/13\/eamonn-wall-your-rivers-have-trained-you-at-sliff\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KPLR-TV<\/a>\u00a0<strong><em>(Fox 2 News, USA)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From difficulties experienced in early school years, through to becoming Professor of English at the University of Missouri-St. Louis in America, Eamonn Wall takes us on a journey from childhood to fatherhood, talking candidly of his emigration to New York, of the \u201cNew Irish\u201d, of having children, of the impact of Irish storytelling and songs on his work, of discovering new poetic forms, of being published, of politics on both sides of the Atlantic, of his regular commutes across the ocean, and of his family.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eamonnwall.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/eamonn-talk-m.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-99 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/eamonnwall.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/eamonn-talk-m.jpg\" alt=\"eamonn-talk-m\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eamonnwall.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/eamonn-talk-m.jpg 640w, https:\/\/eamonnwall.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/eamonn-talk-m-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Landscapes featured in the film include Enniscorthy town, Borodale, Edermine, Vinegar Hill, Ardamine and Oulart.
