Eamonn Wall: Your Rivers Have Trained You @ SLIFF
A portrait of one of Ireland's leading poets, "Eamonn Wall: Your Rivers Have Trained You" was filmed in the writer's birthplace of Enniscorthy in County Wexford, Ireland. The poet -- who now lives in St. Louis -- walks viewers through several chapters of his life, interweaving them with extracts from poems and essays that characteristically reveal much about his family, travels, and influences. From his difficult early school years to his appointment as professor of English at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, Wall journeys from childhood to fatherhood, talking candidly about a wide range of subjects: his emigration to New York, his experience as a father, the impact of Irish storytelling on his work, his discovery of new poetic forms, his views of politics on both sides of the Atlantic, and his family.
