As a comprehensive introduction to Eavan Boland’s work, this book provides an essential guide to the work of one of the most important and challenging voices in contemporary poetry. Approachable for the general reader but at the same time inviting to the specialist, it draws on original research and archival material as it tracks the emergence of a new poetic voice in a national culture and the compelling narrative of that emergence.
