Tonight's poetry reading by Eamonn Wall featured in the Portland Daily Sun

A poetry reading scheduled for tonight (April 24th) by poet Eamonn Wall at UNE's Biddeford Campus was featured in the Portland Daily Sun, which quoted Eric G.E. Zuelow, Ph.D., 91Ö±²¥ÊÓƵassistant professor of European history, at length.

A native of Enniscorthy, County Wexford, Ireland, Wall is the author of six collections of poetry. His next collection, New and Selected Poems, will be published in 2014. From the Sin-e Café to the Black Hills, a collection of essays, was awarded the Michael J. Durkan Prize by the American Conference for Irish Studies.

"He's working with the challenges we find with identity," Zuelow told the Daily Sun. "He'll be doing a reading. One of the major themes will be the question of immigrants — being neither here nor there — not quite of one place or another." and attend the event, which is scheduled for 7 p.m. in the Ketchum Library's St. Francis Room.
